Penelope Francks' book offers an alternative account of Japan's modern economic history from the perspective of the consumer. Tracing Japan's economy from the eighteenth century to the present, she shows how history has conditioned what Japanese people consume and compares their experiences with those of Europe and North America. In so doing the author presents a lucid and informed account of everyday life in Japan, exploring what people eat, how they dress, the household goods they acquire, and their preferred shopping and leisure activities. This beautifully illustrated book succeeds in making economic history palatable and entertaining. It will be a treat for students and all those interested in Japanese society and culture"--Provided by publisher. 000347911 650_0 $$aConsumption (Economics)$$zJapan$$xHistory. 000347911 650_0 $$aConsumers$$zJapan$$xHistory. 000347911 85200 $$bgen$$hHC465.C6$$iF73$$i2009 000347911 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0913/2009026027-d.html 000347911 85641 $$3Table of contents only$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0913/2009026027-t.html 000347911 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0913/2009026027-b.html 000347911 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:347911$$pGLOBAL_SET 000347911 980__ $$aBIB 000347911 980__ $$aBOOK
