Authors Jon Halliday and Gavan McCormack chronicle how Japan's corporate and political machinery extended its reach through trade, aid, and investment across Asia, drawing uncomfortable parallels with the militarist Co-prosperity Sphere ideology of the Second World War era. The book presents meticulous evidence of economic exploitation, detailing how multinational capital, Japanese government policy, and compliant regional regimes worked in concert to sustain patterns of dependency and inequality.\n\nWritten with sharp analytical rigour and unapologetic political clarity, this Pelican Original sits firmly within the tradition of radical, accessible scholarship that Penguin championed throughout the 1970s. Halliday and McCormack's prose is precise and polemical, drawing on economic data, historical precedent, and on-the-ground reportage to construct an argument that is as morally urgent as it is intellectually compelling. For anyone seeking to understand the structural forces shaping Asia's political economy — and the ghosts of empire that never truly departed — this volume remains a provocative and essential starting point.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203257639131,"sku":"2026200015719-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/1b1ad7cc-a82e-4abf-a30f-129da28cacb5.png?v=1788146604","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200015719-secondhand-japanese-imperialism-today-co-prosperity-in-greater-east-asia","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
