Japan Restored: How Japan Can Reinvent Itself and Why This Is Important for America
By Clyde Prestowitz
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Labor economist Prestowitz (Rogue Nation) projects visions of Japan's future in 
this well-handled study of sensitive politico-economic issues disguised as a love
letter to the country. Japan's economic decline after the 2011 tsunami spurred this
peek into a crystal ball. Prestowitz opens with a snapshot of the nation in 2050
 as a world leader in technology, medicine, athletics, and education. These strides
follow a series of potential crises in 2016 that prompt the government to appoint
an Extraordinary National Revitalization Commission. The commission introduces changes
that strengthen Japan's regional power and promote women into management positions,
as well as transforming it into an English-speaking nation like Singapore. Finally,
the 20th-century zaibatsu model that guaranteed citizens jobs for life is replaced
by the profit-driven model that turned Nissan around in 2001. While there's nothing
in this big-themed fabulist tale that seems out of reach, it remains to be seen 
whether Prestowitz's well-intentioned advice will make an impact among Japan's decision
makers. (Nov.)
