This enlightening text analyses the origins of Western complaints,
prevalent in the late nineteenth century, that Japan was
characterised at the time by exceptionally low standards of
'commercial morality', despite a major political and economic
transformation. As Britain industrialised during the nineteenth
century the issue of 'commercial morality' was increasingly
debated. Concerns about standards of business ethics extended to
other industrialising economies, such as the United States. Hunter
examines the Japanese response to the charges levelled against
Japan in this context, arguing that this was shaped by a pragmatic
recognition that Japan had little choice but to adapt itself to
Western expectations if it was to establish its position in the
global economy. The controversy and criticisms, which were at least
in part stimulated by fear of Japanese competition, are important
in the history of thinking on business ethics, and are of relevance
for today's industrialising economies as they attempt to establish
themselves in international markets.
