This book examines Japanese wartime zoo policy during World War II, analyzing the reasons why the Home Ministry destroyed more than 300 showpiece animals throughout Japan well before U.S. air strikes were anticipated, with international comparisons of the effects of the war on zoos in Europe, the United States, and the Middle East.

The Origin of Ping-Pong Diplomacy: The Forgotten Architect of Sino-U.S. Rapprochement

<p>The Japanese economy has shown paradoxical changes. Its successes in forming a company-centred society generated the long downturn toward zero-growth capitalism. Successful spread of information technologies resulted in deterioration of economic life among working people and a wide fall in birth rate. At the zenith of the Japanese model of company system, a huge bubble swelled, so as to prepare a prolonged depression throughout the 1990s. Neoliberalism with spiral reversal of capitalist development toward more competitive markets rather promoted difficulties among people. A lucid reconsideration of neoliberalism through concrete Japanese experiences.</p>

Political Economy of Money and Finance

To explain the pronounced instability of the world economy since the 1970s, the book offers an important and systematic theoretical examination of money and finance. It re-examines the classical foundations of political economy and the creator of money. It assesses all of the important theoretical schools since then, including Marxist, Keynesian, post-Keynesian and monetarist thinkers. By presenting important insights from Japanese political economy previously ignored in Anglo-Saxon economics, the authors make a significant contribution to radical political economy based on a thorough historical analysis of capitalism.

Half a century ago, China and Japan signed the Memorandum Concerning Sino-Japanese Long-Term Comprehensive Trade. This accord is generally referred to as the LT Trade Agreement, an acronym for the co-signers: Liao Chengzhi (1908–1983), vice minister of the Foreign Affairs Office of the Chinese State Council, and Takasaki Tatsunosuke (1885–1964), former minister of the Japanese Ministry of International Trade and Industry. Liao and Takasaki worked out this landmark for Sino-Japanese relations in the face of Chinese radical ideologues and of the conservative Japanese government, ruled by the Liberal Democratic Party, an ally of the United States. The results changed history: the LT Trade framework not only institutionalized Sino-Japanese economic relations, but also paved the way for their diplomatic normalization. In this dual biography of two great politicians, Mayumi Itoh analyzes what they accomplished together and their effects on international relations from fifty years ago to today.
