{"product_id":"reforming-capitalism-going-digital-and-green-1","title":"Reforming Capitalism, Going Digital and Green","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe book describes Japan’s efforts since 2015 to exit the deflationary ‘lost decades’ and chart a new economic course through digital and green transformation, as well as ‘new\/ sustainable capitalism.’\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJapan is attempting to revitalize and reorient its economy through digital and green transformation. At the same time it is seeking to make a more equitable and sustainable transition through ‘new\/ sustainable capitalism.’ These twin efforts face strong headwinds, not least from a declining and ageing population, and social divisions from earlier neoliberal policies. There are also contradictions, which are highlighted by corporate governance and labour market reforms, as well as technology push and competitiveness versus social needs- oriented innovation. The chapters in this volume, by Japanese and non- Japanese experts, highlight the emerging path of change towards Society 5.0, the quest to combine green and growth, and continued obstacles for full participation of women. They especially highlight the need for Japan to invest in people again, matching ‘human- centred’ rhetoric with concrete policy commitments and implementation. Only then will Japan truly emerge from its ‘lost decades.’\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is relevant for students, researchers, and policymakers in the fields of economics, sustainable development, environmental studies, public policy, and social sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of \u003cem\u003eAsia Pacific Business Review\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57297891459416,"sku":"9781032986173","price":56.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781032986173_ef915d49-ee75-441e-b611-9b9563ed1868.jpg?v=1781054118","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/reforming-capitalism-going-digital-and-green-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
