New issue of Japan Inc out
October 9, 2008
By Ken Worsley
The latest issue of Japan Inc is now out, and it includes my new regular column (Yes, the old shorter columns will disappear from the next issue). The first one is on Japan’s food self-sufficiency rate and how the government plans to boost it. I haven’t yet had time to read everything, but highlights of the issue include Tobias Harris’ piece on the US presidential election, Jesper Koll on the prospects of economic growth in Japan, and Anna Kitanaka’s look at the real estate industry in disarray.
