For centuries Japan, although a totalitarian dictatorship, was
ruled by figureheads who signed laws formulated 'behind the
screen'. Hierarchy still defines everyone's status. The man at the
top has power but jeopardizes his position if he ignores consensus
opinions. Nowadays fashionable twentieth-century clothing cloaks a
contradictory blend of intense competition with a tradition of
harmony dependent on close human-relations and complex communal
restraint. The Japanese organise themselves in cliques (not groups)
which raise barriers against outsiders. Companies are controlled
from within; shareholders are outsiders. Women are more than equal
in their homes; less than equal at work. After living and managing
his own business in Japan for forty years, the author explored
widely before coining the term 'competitive communism' to describe
Japan's economic and social system.
