Summary
This title is the product of wide-ranging research and years of on-scene reporting by a journalist offering his original view of Japan's economic and political ascendance. Demolishing the myth that Japan is a capitalist country on the western model, he says that Japan treats business as an instrument of national interest and shows how this system is, in turn, transforming the economics of other Asian countries.

Provides a comprehensive overview of the CIA's and other covert agencies' operations in Afghanistan, from the Soviet invasion in 1979 through the summer of 2001, detailing the rise of the Taliban and bin Laden, the secret efforts of the CIA to capture or kill bin Laden since 1998, and their failure to stop bin Laden, al Qaeda, and the events of September 11th.
America Unbound
by Ivo H. Daalder
Two Clinton-era National Security Council staffers offer muted criticism of George W. Bush's foreign policy from a realist perspective. September 11th is identified as the reason for Congressional deference to Bush's "revolutionary" tangent as Bush proceeded to wage war on Afghanistan and Iraq, unleash the CIA from previous legal constraints, and generally pursue a "hegemonist" worldview in foreign affairs. Not unexpectedly, they would prefer the multilateral approach towards exercising American power that has largely prevailed over the past five decades.

Looking at the Sun: The Rise of the New East Asian Economic and Political System
Fallows, James M
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Pantheon Books, 1994 The book and the dust wrapper are both in fine condition. There is some slight rubbing to the wrapper, evident only when shone in direct light, otherwise it is a fine copy. The book is signed by the authoron the title page. (F/F.) 517pp.Fallows challenges the Western world's notion that its capitalist system is the only way to go, in a well-researched, thorough, and analytic study of international business. Of particular relevance to Fallows, who reported from Asia for five years for Atlantic (in which the text of this book first appeared, in three parts), is how eastern Asian countries, not just Japan, are emerging as the new world leaders in business and technology. In fact, Fallows theorizes that the U.S.' reliance on its old regime of individual enterprise and rights is the very notion that will inevitably be our demise. Asia's economic models are strong because governments there are so strong and powerful, and the author sees even area dictatorships as having the upper hand in business; after all, there is someone at the helm to control the market. Fallows elaborates on how various countries have succeeded in vying for a competitive share of the world market, some with funding from Japan and some not. A fascinating, fresh, and potentially controversial contemplation of the global market. Mary Frances Wilkens From Kirkus Reviews While capitalism may have bested communism in the Cold War, Fallows (More Like Us, 1989; National Defense, 1981, which won the American Book Award) fears that the West does not realize that the world's balance of economic power is shifting from the North Atlantic to the Pacific Basin and, further, that Asian economic success is based on a system of free enterprise that diverges in crucial ways from that of the West. Fallows (who has lived and traveled in Asia as a reporter for the Atlantic.. Signed by Author. Hard Cover. Fine. ( more information) Offered by Cameron's Books and Magazines (United States)

Looking at the Sun: The Rise of the New East Asian Economic and Political System
Fallows, James
good, good Pantheon Books New York 1994 Fifth 517, notes, index, some pages bent (not creased) Skillfully blending history with on-the-ground reportage and astute analysis, Fallows reveals how political goals and historical experience have shaped Japan's economic rise and have placed it at the heart of a new Asian system that challenges the very economic principles the West extols. Suggesting that the United States does not yet comprehend the ramificationsof the new form of capitalism developed in Japan, Fallows, a reporter on Asia for the Atlantic Monthly and other periodicals and author of the American Book Award-winning National Defense, details them. It is this style of capitalism, rather than communism or fascism, that challenges us now. ( more information) Offered by Ground Zero Books, Ltd. (United States)
