Abstract

This is a disparate collection of essays on aspects of the Japanese economy and of U.S.-Japanese trade and payments relationships. It was assembled under the auspices of the Japan Society's Committee on Economic Policy Studies; it was edited and summarized by Dean Cohen as Chairman of the committee. The optimistic "partnership" title may be a whistle in the dark. Its apparent purpose was to check the apparent drift toward economic warfare between the two countries, as embodied particularly in the rise of American protectionism (the Burke-Hartke Bill in the U.S. Congress). The Businessmen's Advisory Committee of the Japan Society also supplied a chapter on "Policy Recommen- dations," less "enlightened" (from a conventional economist's jaundiced viewpoint) than the remainder of the volume, but more enlightened than one would expect from the National Association of Manufacturers or the AFL-CIO. Characterizing these essays as "disparate" has reference to their levels of technical sophistication and their audience appeals. Dean Henry Rosovsky's "overview" of Japan's economic prospects (Chapter 1) and Dean Cohen's own concluding summary (Chapter 11) will be the most helpful to the general public. This reviewer has only the most minor of quibbling differences with either one. The Rosovsky chapter has
