Economic arrangements, Ramseyer writes, are structured and
implemented with the intent and hope that they will be carried out
with 'care, intelligence, discretion, and effort.' Yet
entrepreneurs work with partial information about the products, and
people, they are dealing with. Contracting in Japan illustrates
this by examining five sets of negotiations and unusual contractual
arrangements among non-specialist businessmen, and women, in Japan.
In it, Ramseyer explores how sake brewers were able to obtain and
market the necessary, but difficult-to-grow, sake rice that
captured the local terroir; how Buddhist temples tried to
compensate for rapidly falling donations by negotiating unusual
funerary contracts; and how pre-war local elites used leasing
instead of loans to fund local agriculture. Ramseyer examines these
entrepreneurs, discovering how they structured contracts, made
credible commitments, obtained valuable information, and protected
themselves from adverse consequences to create, maintain,
strengthen, and leverage the social networks in which they
operated.
