Japan's Managed Globalization: Adapting to the Twenty-First Century (East Gate Book)

M.E. Sharpe, 2002

As Japan moves from a "catch-up" strategy to a post-developmental stage, it is changing its actions and reactions both in terms of international political economy and domestic policy issues. The current changes in Japan can best be understood as following a path toward "permeable insulation." Japan's government and economic system continue to insulate domestic businesses from full competition and the rigor of market forces, but this insulation ...

Unmaking the Japanese Miracle: Macroeconomic Politics, 1985-2000

William W. Grimes

Cornell University Press, 2002

So everyone had their reason? That doesn't justify anything.
I'd say this is a bad case of over-research or losing objectivity. It's a formidable work that he's put in. He has interviewed numerous top officials in the Bank of Japan, Ministry of Finance and Politicians to dig into the current Japanese recession. But the conclusion that he draws is as follows; a. BOJ were under pressure, so they couldn't do anything. b. MOF was busy, and they had no ...

William W. Grimes

Cornell University Press, 2008

Since the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997-98, East Asian economies have sought to make themselves less vulnerable to global financial markets by transforming the regional financial architecture.

In Currency and Contest, William W. Grimes ...

My Fine Feathered Friend

William Grimes

North Point Press, 2002

A mysterious arrival and departure, a story of friends.
A poignantly told memoir of a season spent in the company of a somewhat bohemian chicken. I gave a copy of this book to my vet after we tried for several months to save the life of one of my pet chickens. She hadn't much experience with chickens, more so with the fanicier hookbills often found in one's the parlor, so I wanted her to know what it was like to know a chicken on a more personal ...

Straight Up or on the Rocks: A Cultural History of American Drink

2 reviews
William Grimes

Simon & Schuster, 1993

Entertaining and informative.
With an emphasis on the cocktail, Straight Up Or On The Rocks is a solid and entertaining history of drinking in America. Grimes' appreciation for a good cocktail is evident, and while he has his opinions on certain drinks, you understand why he has them. This could be very useful for restuarant and bar professionals. The drink recipe section in the back, while short, is very good.

Family Ties: A Contemporary Perspective
Sarah Vowell, Alice Neel, ...

Marquand Books, Inc., 2003

If family is often considered the backbone of civilization, it has undergone serious rethinking over the past few decades. Most disciplines, from sociology to psychotherapy to economics, have had their turn at analyzing, theorizing and representing the family in all its many forms. In Family Ties, the relationships that bind families are explored via nearly 60 contemporary artists. Alice Neel paints mother daughter portraits; Nicholas Nixon ...

Straight Up or On the Rocks: The Story of the American Cocktail

William Grimes

North Point Press, 2002

Better as a history than a recipe book
Grimes traces the history of that uniquely American invention, the cocktail, from its origins in colonial times to its current revival. He is particularly entertaining when reviewing extinct drinks -- ever wonder what a shandy is? -- but the storied bartenders and venues are also a pleasure. The second half of the book is recipes. For these, you're probably better off with a bartender's ...
