He sees Japan as it is and sums up the challenge: How can our capitalism beat their capitalism? By keeping his eyes open and asking the right questions, this newcomer comes up with penetrating insights. -William J. Holstein, Business Week In Pacific Rift, the best-selling author of Liars Poker 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51855848538400,"sku":"NEW039330986X","price":23.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/7111kmPLUzL.jpg?v=1781542484","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/pacific-rift-why-americans-and-japanese-dont-understand-each-other-039330986x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
