This title examines the transformation of Japan's national economy. It employs the concept of the structure of accumulation composed of the organisations of labor, credit and markets. The post-war Japanese miracle trifurcated into prosperous corportions, squeezed workers and parasitic bureaucracy in the slow growth period, 1974-91. The 'miracle' continues only for the major Japanese corporations that are East Asianising and globalising.
