The 1990s have been termed as 'Japan's Lost Decade' to
describe how the phenomenal growth in the Japanese economy
ground to a halt and the country was subsequently crippled
by enormous and ongoing political, economic and social
problems. Socially, these unprecedented difficulties have
led to high rates of suicide, alcoholism and rising levels
of crime particularly among the young. Controversially, this book argues that the Japan that
emerges from these manifold problems may, in fact, be
stronger than before.
