Review # 1 was written on 2012-02-23 00:00:00 Maria T Lymberis A great book that serves as an compelling introduction to the complex topic of inequality in Japan. This book does not only approach this topic from the economic side, but also from several other disciplines. For example, sociology, law and politics. I used this book for my thesis and I learned a lot from it. So I can highly recommend this book.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-08-07 00:00:00 Zhengyu Duan Garrett does a great job of explaining the bubbles arising from WW1 and its aftermath, the credit fueled 20's and the forces behind the Great Depression. The whole thing gets bogged down in mind-numbing detail for about the last 1/4 of the book. My suggestion is to read it until it tickles your boredom bone and then stop. The first 2/3 is very informative.
