To get at the political roots of American economic decline, this treatise puts the disciplined thinking of political philosophy, comparative politics and international political economy to use in analyzing the source and nature of American institutional weakness. Unlike many who have written on US-Japanese relations, the author does not seek a solution in a particular new policy or institutional innovation, such as an American counterpart to Japan's MITI. Rather, he emphasizes the systemic nature of America's problems. The failures of management, finance and politics are interlocking and reinforcing, he argues, and thus a change in one area inevitably entails changes in the others that spell doom for any partial approach.
