About This Item
Boston: Harvard Business School Press, 1992. Cloth, xiii, 180 pages, illustrations; 23 cm. Photographs by Joel Sackett. PRESENTATION COPY. Signed and warmly inscribed by the author Jonathan Rauch in the year of publication. Spotting/top edge. Dust jacket with light shelfwear. "In Japanese, the word for 'foreign country' means literally 'outnation'. But to many American and Japanese, it is Japan itself that, despite its rising influence in world affairs, is the outsider - 'The Outnation'. In this rigourous and searching journey through Japan's islands and institutions, Richard Rauch finds that today's Japan is strikingly and often surprisingly familiar. Economically it's similar to America in the days of the great cartels and company towns, with a high-tech update. Politically, it's Mayor Daley's Chicago raised to a national scale and its values, far from being alien to the West are Plato's own." - Publisher.. SIGNED. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo. Collectible.
