Description:... A shocking expose that chronicles what the Japanese call the Bubble Economy: the boom of the 1980s (based on easy credit and wildly inflated asset values) and the ongoing bust--a stock market crash, scandals, and the consequences for Japan and the rest of the world. Wood is the Finance Editor of the Economist in Tokyo.
