Behind the tatemae I read this book shortly after the publication in 1997 and now again in June 2000. It is surprising how accurate Jon Woronoff's predictions of the ongoing societal and economic crises of Japan have been. The book was written before the consumption tax hike and the unfolding banking crises, and yet it catches the sentiments of present day Japan. I hope that Jon Woronoff will soon update his book with the latest twists of political disarray, runaway construction projects paving the country side, and the declining competitiveness of key sectors in the economy. | ||
A great outlook of Japanese society right now Jon Woronoff, in his book The Japanese Social crisis, sumarizes what is happening now with the Japanese society. He writes an antithesis of one book from Ezra Vogel and Richard Lynn's "The Japanese education system". PResents a great outlook about family relationships, education, job, tatemae and an anthropological view of the society. | ||
