Japan's postwar political machine was founded in the 1970s by Premier Kakuei Tanaka, a fiery populist who would be brought down by financial scandals.

Seller's Description:
Very good, very good. 366, notes, selected bibliography, index, black mark on bottom edge, slight wear and soiling to DJ. Japan's postwar political machine was founded in the 1970s by Premier Kakuei Tanaka, a fiery populist who would be brought down by financial scandals. By the early 1990s, the machine had begun to creak and Japan fell into a deep recession as new scandals came to light. This book shows how the success and failure of Japan's political powers has helped to define a new age of competition and openness in Japanese politics. Shadow Shoguns is an arresting profile of an element of modern Japanese life little understood in the West: the relationship between economic superpowerdom and political corruption. In an astute and provocative piece of political reporting, Schlesinger, formerly of the Wall Street Journal's Tokyo Bureau, paints a vivid portrait of state as corporation.
