Molding Japanese Minds by Sheldon Garon
What actually unites the Japanese to achieve so many social and economic goals that have eluded other polities? This book helps readers to understand the Japanese mobilizing spirit as it taps into the intimate relationships everyday Japanese have with their government.
"Molding Japanese Minds is history at its best; with a thorough command of original sources and scholarship, both in Japanese and other languages, Garon demonstrates that social policy was not solely government-or bureaucracy-driven" * Times Literary Supplement *
"An excellent book. . . Garon has chosen his subject well and. . . he handles it with balance and authority."---Patrick Smith, The Nation
