Japanese Interfirm Networks and Their Main Banks by Mark J. Scher.
Hardcover - 176 pages (December 1997).
Reviews:
A reader from Chicago, IL , November 19, 1997 - Revealing insight into Japan's
financial markets Few Americans have the experience and breadth of knowledge
about the Japanese economy as Mark Scher, who has spent the last 25 years
mining its secrets. Finding that most western Paradigms about the Japanese
economy don't fit the facts, Scher developed his own. Scher's work is widely
known and respected in Europe (his Phd is from the University of Manchester,
no less). However, our "Chicago School" economists will not be satisfied with
a perspective that suggests that something other than a totally free market can work.
