For More Than A Decade, Japans Dismal Economy Which Has Bounced From Deflationary Collapse To Fitful Recovery And Back To Collapse Has Been The Biggest Obstacle To Economic Growth. Why Has The Worlds Second Largest Economy Been Unable To Save Itself? Why Has A Country, Whose Financial Might In The 1980S Was The Most Feared Force On The Globe, Become The Sick Man Of The World Economy? Why Has The Industrial Transformation Once Called The Japanese Miracle Frozen Into The Japanese Malaise?Saving The Sun Answers These Questions By Telling The Story Of Long Term Credit Bank, One Of The Nations Most Respected Financial Institutions, And Its Attempts To Transform Itself Into A Westernstyle Bank. Through The Stories Of Three Extraordinary Men, Former Financial Times Tokyo Bureau Chief Gillian Tett Brings To Life The Banks Long Struggle To Regain Its Financial Health. In The Process, She Shines A Light Into The Secretive World Of Japanese Banking Where Business Is Done In Sex Bars And Gangsters Lurk Behind The Scenes. And, In A Fastpaced Narrative, Tett Chronicles The Internal Conflicts Between Reformminded And Traditionbound Factions Within The Bank, As Well As The Powerful And Protective Japanese Bureaucracy.Filled With Dramatic Scenes Involving Some Of The Most Important Figures And Institutions In International Finance Paul Volcker, Lawrence Summers, John Reed, Goldman Sachs, Ubs, And Csfb Saving The Sun Charts The Growing Confusion Between A Government Eager To Revive The Economy But Unwilling To Accept The Necessary Compromises And The Western Bankers (Profiled Here For The First Time) Who Too Openly Scorned Japanese Capitalism And Its Paramount Interest In Social Harmony Over Pure Profit.What Emerges Is The First Viable Explanation Of What Caused Japan To Stumble From Such Economic Heights Readers Will Finally Understand What Has Hobbled That Country. But What Also Emerges Is The Realization That A Profound Rift Still Exists Between Japan And The Rest Of The World. Though Long Term Credit Banks Transformation Into Shinsei Bank Has Been A Rousing Success In Financial Terms, The Japanese Press, Government, And People Have All But Turned Against The Idea Of Americanstyle Capitalism. Indeed, Instead Of Reforming Japan, The Banking Crisis May Have Convinced Ordinary Japanese, More Than Ever Before, That They Must Go It Alone.
