Richard Katz, who knows Japan's economy and society inside and out, offers a book full of careful analysis and bold recommendations. It is a precious wake up call to a Japan that sometimes acts like a frog that stays in boiling water. * Heizo Takenaka, Former Japanese Minister for Financial Services and former Minister for Economic and Fiscal Policy * For years, Japan has sorely needed to unleash the sort of creative energy that made it an economic superstar in the postwar decades. This highly original book provides evidence that digital technology, new generational attitudes, improving gender equality, and international inspirations are converging with demographic pressures and emerging government support in ways that create the possibility of a new burst of entrepreneurial vigor. * Bill Emmott, Former Editor-in-Chief, The Economist * Richard Katz looks beyond Japan's institutional rigidities, complacency, and aversion to risk to explore important new 'megatrends' that hold the possibility of a rebirth of the entrepreneurial spirit that fueled postwar Japan's economic miracle. Hopeful, insightful, and written with verve, The Contest for Japan's Economic Future deserves to be read by anyone concerned about Japan's future trajectory. * Gerald Curtis, Columbia University * Richard Katz provides a fresh, up-to-date analysis of an important topic that has bewitched two generations of scholars. While many have proposed that the solution to Japan's economic problems lies in reforming the big incumbents, Katz argues that generating a host of new companies is at least as indispensable. * Zoltan Acs, George Mason University * This important new book challenges the conventional thinking that Japan is doomed to suffer from a paucity of entrepreneurship. Rather, its penetrating analysis of significant contemporary developments provides a compelling case for an entrepreneurial renaissance in Japan. * David Audretsch, Author of Creating Competitiveness: Entrepreneurship and Innovation Policies for Growth * Katz's deep research-much of it informed by interviews with young entrepreneurs-is brimming with ideas to resurrect the reform process. * William Pesek, Forbes Asia *
