<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Lewis's take is often comic, but his message is serious. He sees Japan as it is and sums up the challenge: 'How can <em>our</em> capitalism beat <em>their</em> capitalism?' By keeping his eyes open and asking the right questions, this newcomer comes up with penetrating insights." --William J. Holstein, <em>Business Week</em><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In <em>Pacific Rift</em>, the best-selling author of <em>Liar's Poker</em> aims his skewering wit at the so-called cultural clash between Japan and the United States. The result is a very different kind of book on U.S.-Japanese business relations. In search of answers, Michael Lewis hits the road to report on the travails of two businessmen: one a rollicking American insurance agent who works in Tokyo, the other a Harvard-educated Japanese man employed by Mitsui Real Estate in New York City. From the Ginza hostess bars of Tokyo to the "wine-bottle" gangs of Times Square, Lewis dramatizes tragicomic collisions between the two cultures and the basic misconceptions that Americans and Japanese have about each other.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>In 'Pacific Rift, ' the best selling author aims his skewering wit at the so-called cultural clash between Japan and the United States.
