<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"The Japanese economy, once the envy of the world for its dynamism and growth, lost its shine after a financial bubble burst in early 1990s and slumped further during the Global Financial Crisis in 2008. It suffered even more damage in 2011, when a severe earthquake set off the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. However, the Bank of Japan soldiered on to combat low inflation, low growth, and low interest rates, and in many ways it served as a laboratory for actions taken by central banks in other parts of the world. Masaaki Shirakawa, who led the bank as governor from 2008 to 2013, provides a rare insider's account of the workings of Japanese economic and monetary policy during this period and how it challenged mainstream economic thinking."--Publisher's website.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A rare insider's account of the inner workings of the Japanese economy, and the Bank of Japan's monetary policy, by a career central banker</b> <p/> The Japanese economy, once the envy of the world for its dynamism and growth, lost its shine after a financial bubble burst in early 1990s and slumped further during the Global Financial Crisis in 2008.

There is no better teacher than Masaaki Shirakawa."--Mervyn King, former Governor of the Bank of England <p/>"Masaaki Shirakawa offers a unique insight into the working of one of the world's most important central banks. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in Japan's experience and the lessons it carries for countries now facing Japan-style problems."--Raghuram G. Rajan, author of <i>The Third Pillar: How Markets and the State Leave the Community Behind</i> <br> <p/>"In his masterful book, Masaaki Shirakawa takes us inside the room at the Bank of Japan. We learn keen insights from a leader who never sought attention, but whose ideas proved critical to global policy responses.
