In the Shadow of the Rising Sun The Political Roots of American Economic Decline

Why is the United States unable to compete effectively with Japan? What explains the inability of American leaders to devise an industrial policy capable of focusing the energies of American businesses on the task of meeting the Japanese challenge? How can this country emerge from the shadow of the Rising Sun? This book addresses these questions & proposes a controversial solution. "Bill Dietrich has written a profound & persuasive analysis of the ideological roots of America's competitive difficulties. Those who intend to lead in business, government, & academia should read it carefully."-George Lodge, Harvard Univ. "In the Shadow of the Rising Sun is a powerfull call for a stronger government role to modernize the U.S. economic system. What makes it especially noteworthy is that the call comes from a business executive. When enough other CEOs join Bill Dietrich, we may be on the way to finding our proper place in the world economy."--Robert Heilbroner, New School for Social Research.Dietrich, William S. is the author of 'In the Shadow of the Rising Sun The Political Roots of American Economic Decline' with ISBN 9780271007656 and ISBN 0271007656.
