By the late twentieth century, Japan had gained worldwide attention
as an economic powerhouse. Having miraculously risen from the ashes
of World War II, it was seen by many as a country to be admired if
not emulated. But by the early 1990s, that bubble burst in
spectacular fashion. The Japanese economic miracle was over. In
this book, John Lie argues that in many ways the Japan of today has
the potential to be even more significant than it was four decades
ago. As countries face the prospect of a world with decreasing
economic growth and increasing environmental dangers, Japan offers
a unique glimpse into what a viable future might look like-one in
which people acknowledge the limits of the economy and environment
while championing meaningful and sustainable ways of working and
living. Beneath and beyond the rhetoric of growth, some Japanese
are leading sustainable lives and creating a sustainable society.
Though he does not prescribe a one-size-fits-all cure for the
world, Lie makes the compelling case that contemporary Japanese
society offers a possibility for how other nations might begin to
valorize everyday life and cultivate ordinary virtues.
