While the consequences of low social order are well understood, the
consequences of high social order are not. Yet perhaps nowhere in
the world is social order so well developed as in Japan, which is
highly organized, economically successful, and enjoys a safe
society. However, Japan pays a price--the loss of personal freedom,
and the inability to exploit its citizens' talents.In "Order by
Accident," Alan S. Miller and Satoshi Kanazawa discuss the
consequences of high social order in Japan. They integrate a wide
range of scholarship on Japan, ranging from studies by
criminologists, to religious studies, to the most current social
psychological studies. The results are sometimes startling and
counterintuitive, since the same theory of social order explains
equally well why Japan has an orderly society with low street
crimes, but is plagued with problems such as white collar crime.
