The author's banking background in Japan, and some good interviews, lend interest to this comprehensive tour of what is now rather familiar territory, comparing the business and government practices and attitudes of the Japanese with those of Americans. He concludes that the United States needs a trade and industrial strategy based on economic nationalism, because "the game of international commercial competition may well be a zero-sum game."

An introduction to the subject of US-Japanese trade, which gives insight and understanding to today's U.S.-China trade issues."On target... Schlosstein's intimate knowledge of Japanese language and business culture results in a book full of illuminating examples...." Barrons, 9/10/84"Studded with facts, figures, and history. Trade Wars is a brisk, sassy examination of the US-Japan trade spats. Its crisp, pep-talk prose presents a well-stated and balanced guide to the conflict." -- The Asian Wall Street Journal, 8/10-11/84"An important and thought-provoking book, written in an entertaining and highly readable style. You don't have to be an economist to understand it, or agree with every conclusion in order to find new insights into the economic polices of Japan and the United States." -- John C. Burton, Dean, Columbia University Graduate School of Business"A must book on a forbidden topic. Schlosstein's no holds-barred writing opens up the debate on what must be done and knocks the socks off naive, simplistic notions about free trade-- and our economic future." -- Dr. Amitai Etzioni, author of An Immodest Agenda

The End of the American Century

First the West Nile virus hit New York. People said it was a curse from Saddam Hussein. 
Then the postman brought anthrax in the mail, right after the suicide bombers struck on September 11. So Osama bin Laden and his al Qaeda terrorist network became the FBI's prime suspects. 
But when the rogue Col. Fu Barxu launches his own bioterror attack on America by infecting 283 passengers on a commercial jet headed straight from Shanghai to Newark, he uses a lethal avian virus that's been cloned in a covert lab in Jiangxi province to masquerade as flu. The Centers for Disease Control put their top disease detective, Dr. Ellen Chou, on the case. 
The first Asian-American to head the CDC's elite Division of Emerging Infectious Diseases, Ellen not only has to fight an unknown and invisible enemy. She also has to battle the White House, the Congress, and a small army of entrenched bureaucrats in our own Federal bureaucracy. 
Because this time, the threat is not from the Middle East. 
It's from China.

In 1963, average per capita income in the Arab world was higher than the per capita income of South Korea. Today, it is half that of Korea, which is now the 11th-largest economy in the world. What's worse, during the past 20 years, growth in per capita income for Arabs has been the lowest in the world except for sub-Saharan Africa. 
 In another corner of the world, growth, optimism, and hope have forcefully driven out poverty, pessimism, and despair. The East Asian economic miracle of the last two decades is no longer a mystery: China, Japan, and the tiger economies of Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong have set powerful new standards for the developing world to meet. 
 The vibrant economies of East Asia have consistently demonstrated the power of dynamic transformation by showing how effective modernization strategies can be created and implemented while at the same time protecting their own traditions, starting with authoritarian rule and a role for the state. 
 By contrast, the Middle East is locked in a death-dance with the West. Endangered Species documents critical lessons that the Arab world can learn from Beijing and Tokyo, not from the Washington consensus.
