      This volume was originally published in 1976. The difference types of society in the world - capitalist, socialist, mixed, etc. - have many features in common, despite their dissimilarities. The object of this book is to make clear the economic logic of society in general, which applies to socialist as well as capitalist economies. Taking the Japanese economy as an example, part of the book tries to explain how an actual economy can deviate from the 'ideal' laws of motion, and shows that such aberrations themselves obey certain rules. In a broad sense, it belongs in the domain of the theory of comparative systems. The book is based on lectures which Professor Morishima gave to students at Osaka University in 1967-1968. It is translated from the Japanese by D. W. Anthony.

      Als <i>Warum Japan so erfolgreich ist</i> (1982) veröffentlicht wurde, war Japan noch ein Land des "Kapitalismus von oben". In den letzten zehn Jahren hat die Wirtschaft des Landes nachgelassen und ist zurückgegangen. Es wendet sich trotz der schwachen Demokratie Japans dem "Kapitalismus von unten" zu. Dieser Richtungswechsel wird aus verschiedenen Perspektiven untersucht, wobei ein tiefes Wissen über den japanischen Ethos, die nationale Geschichte, den Bildungshintergrund sowie die Soziologie der japanischen Wirtschaft und Geschäftswelt einfließt. Der Autor bietet eine langfristige Prognose für die Zukunft Japans.
