<p><strong>'I consider this book to be a well-researched and informative study, which is a valuable contribtuion to an understanding of Japanese capitalism and capital-labour relations in Japan.' </strong><em>- Japanese Studies</em></p>
This book provides a history of Nikkeiren (the Japanese Federation of Managers' Organisations) and an account of post-war capitalist development in Japan. The author challenges the principal interpretations of how the economy functions revealing a darker side of Japanese capitalism in his examination of the roles played by class power, manipulation and mystification.
