Hardback. New. Focusing on the fall of liberalism in Japan in late 1931 and the global politics of money that were at the center of the crisis, this book asks why successive Japanese governments carried out policies that deliberately induced deflation and depression. It aims to shed light on the complex dynamics of money, empire, and global hegemony.
