Changes in Japan Highlighted in Economist

Many of the issues I touched on in my three-part series on changes occurring in Japanese business almost a year and a half ago are discussed again in the Economist as part of larger series on Japan. It was brought to my attention through a post over at Tom Barnett's site. Many of my comments were first echoed in the International Herald Tribune. The fact that they are now covered in the Economist is a nice, additional validation that the trends I have seen while on the ground here in Japan are not isolated to my own experience.

Reading my posts and the articles and writing at the links above will give you a very good understanding of the transition Japan is currently going through.
