Asian crisis and the future of the Japanese model
认为日本模式在未来几十年可能失去独特性，但变化并非源于当前银行问题或亚洲经济危机，而是全球金融市场压力、美国文化霸权及日本社会富裕化带来的深层结构变革。
The ‘Japanese model’ may well not preserve its distinctiveness in the general picture of global capitalism for many more decades, but if and when change comes, it will have very little to do with the current problems of Japanese banks or with the current economic downturn, much less with the panic crises which have afflicted four Asian economies. It will result partly from the long-term pressures stemming from global financial markets, partly from the worldwide effects of American cultural hegemony, and partly from the working through of profound social structural changes stemming from Japanese society's arrival at the age of affluence.
