I therefore highly recommend The Japanese Financial System to foreign bankers, entrepreneurs, and businessmen w ho are interested in the Japanese economy, as well as to scholars and students. In addition, I hope that this book will help to eliminate so-called financial friction between Japan and other developed countries bv fostering a better understanding abroad of the Japanese financial system.
