Will the Japanese government take the decisive but manageable
policy actions needed to bring about economic recovery? Criticism
of current Japanese macroeconomic and financial policies is so
widespread that the reasons for it are assumed to be self-evident.
In this volume, Adam Posen explains in depth why a shift in
Japanese fiscal and monetary policies, as well as financial reform,
would be in Japan's own self-interest. He demonstrates that
Japanese economic stagnation in the 1990s is the result of mistaken
policies of fiscal austerity and financial laissez-faire rather
than any supposed structural failures of the "Japan Model". The
author outlines a program for putting the country back on the path
to solid economic growth -- primarily through permanent tax cuts
and monetary stabilization -- and draws broader lessons to be
learned from recent Japanese policy actions that led to country's
continuing stagnation. The book will be a useful supplementary text
for both under-and post-graduate level courses in macroeconomics,
comparative political economy, Japan or East Asian studies, public
finance, and international relations. Restoring Japan's Economic
Growth has been translated into Japanese by Toyo Keizei (Tokyo).
