Descripción de contraportada
"Lever of Empire is an engrossing page turner--I simply could not put it down until I had finished it. This is an important subject, and one that has not been given adequate attention in Western scholarship on Japan until now. Metzler has done thorough research, and has woven these materials together into an elegantly written whole. The result is an outstanding book."--Richard J. Smethurst, author of A Social Basis for Prewar Japanese Militarism: The Army and the Rural Community
"Metzler's wide scope, prodigious research, and vivid writing clearly show how 'the dry and technical details of monetary policy became a matter of life and death in newly industrializing Japan'."--Peter Frost, American Historical Review "Metzler's outstanding contribution goes beyond the historical information compiled so impressively in this book. ...[Lever of Empire] is going to become a classic in the historiography of Japanese and world economic history."--Arturo Giraldez, Economic History Review "This is an outstanding book. It eloquently shows the formation of Japan's political-economic practice, and rightfully stresses the spillover of monetary matters into both political and economic development. Students of the dollar standard or IMF policies too will find its conclusions provocative, worthwhile and compelling."--Michael Schiltz, Financial History Review "The author has investigated a wide range of domestic and foreign primary materials and has read them most carefully. He has painstakingly compared the results that were brought to light from Japanese primary documents with the English primary documents and has done a lot of original fact finding. Moreover, the author's perspective is quite broad both as a historian and an economic historian, his range covering everything from economic history through political and social history. ...[Lever of Empire] mak[es] new contributions to the study of Japanese history and Japanese economic history as done by Japanese scholars, ...we can learn a host of historical lessons about international policy cooperation and economic policies toward emerging markets."--Itoh Masanao, Social Science Japan Journal "Mark Metzler's Lever of Empire accomplishes two major tasks. It presents by far the most comprehensive analysis in English of Japanese financial policy in the early twentieth century, a crucial period in which Japan began to emerge as the major industrial and military power in Asia. Perhaps even more important, Metzler crafts a masterful transnational history that examines the close interaction of Japanese domestic policies with outside forces... Along the way, the book also yields important insights into the dynamics of Japanese imperialism."--W. Miles Fletcher, History: Reviews of New BooksDetalles
