Books by Yoshiro Miwa

For Western economists and journalists, the most distinctive facet of the post-war Japanese business world has been the keiretsu, or the insular business alliances among powerful corporations. This book shows that the very idea of the keiretsu was created and propagated by Marxist scholars in post-war Japan.

Yoshiro Miwa asks whether a state can correct market failures and in particular critically analyses the performance of the Japanese economy as a result of state intervention within it.
