Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

According to a compilation by the Banker, a highly respected international trade publication, 7 of the world's 10 largest banks, when ranked on capital, are Japanese. When evaluated on soundness, though, no Japanese bank rates higher than 299. Dattel, who has had 10 years of direct experience with Japanese financial institutions as a managing director for Morgan Stanley's Tokyo bureau and later as a private consultant, explains the contradiction by spotlighting and analyzing the weaknesses in the Japanese financial system. He criticizes Japan's insular ministry of finance and challenges the myths perpetuated by Japanese and foreign journalists that suggest a financial juggernaut. Dattel's eye-opening observations will be important to those concerned with Japan's role in the world and with Japanese-American relations. David Rouse

4.0 out of 5 stars Manufacturing Dominance doesn't equal Financial Dominance, October 20, 2003

Maliha Yahya (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Sun That Never Rose: The Inside Story of Japan's Failed Attempt at Global Financial Dominance (Hardcover)

This book increases my understanding of the Japanese culture, psyche and love for bureaucracy, and how Japan's strengths in manufacturing does not necessarily translate well or able to be copied to Financial Dominance.

After reading this book, it is shocking to imagine all those trillions earned by Japanese manufacturing got squandered by arrogant, ill-equipped bureaucrats.

He does ramble on a bit, and repeat himself, but since he wrote from loads of interviews, I guess they all say the same things.

Many lessons for us to learn here in Malaysia. If they get to wake up and increase their competencies in the financial field, that'll be great to see.
