[Tirath · Rating 4 out of 5]

An amazing piece of history; quite rightly sums up the anxiety and hope surrounding Japan's supposed elevation to the title of a superpower.
The book was written in 1988, just before the big crash and the 2 lost decades.
It's quite the armageddon kinda book - the fall of america, loss of the dollar standard, trade and capital deficits will ruin the US, Japan is the new leader, etc.
The extravagant asset prices were questioned and then justified in the book.

Got this book from a small unknown book store in New Zealand. Good piece of history.
