This work investigates the structural causes of the Japanese economic crisis by applying the regulationist theoretical framework to the nation's unique institutional arrangements. Editors Robert Boyer and Toshio Yamada, both established scholars in institutional economics, curate a collection of essays that analyze the interaction between the Japanese wage-labor nexus, financial systems, and industrial organization. The authors argue that the 'company-ist' model, which once facilitated rapid growth, has become a source of rigidity and instability in the face of global economic shifts.
What You Will Find
Experts recognize this volume as a significant application of regulation theory to a specific national economy, providing a rigorous structural analysis of Japan's economic challenges. Readers frequently note the academic density of the prose, which is intended for researchers and students of political economy and institutional theory.
