Pacific Rift by Michael Lewis
THE ENTHRALLING TRUE STORY OF THE US-JAPANESE FINANCIAL CLASH - FROM THE GLOBAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE BIG SHORT, LIAR'S POKER AND FAST BOYS 'In the hands of Michael Lewis, anything is possible.' - Sunday Times In Pacific Rift, Michael Lewis follows the fortunes of two cultural transplants: Bob Collins, a forthright American insurance executive who lives and works in Tokyo, and Shuji Tomikawa, a Harvard-educated Japanese man working for Mitsui Real Estate in New York City. Through these men, Lewis sheds fascinating light on business practices on either side of the Pacific, from the Ginza bars of Tokyo to the wino gangs of Times Square. Written with Lewis's trademark wit and insight, this is a vivid portait of economic rivalry, cultural exchange and a new global order.
