Pacific Rift: Adventures in the fault zone between the U.S. and Japan / Michael Lewis 132 pgs. The next in my quest to read everything by Michael Lewis. Hard to remember back in the late 80's and early 90's all the economic talk was about Japan and how much money they made and how much U.S. real estate they owned. I remember when companies were looking to adopt the Japanese way and how that was supposed to be the answer to returning to profitability. Of course it all looks all looks a little different now. This book does give insight into the Japanese business world and culture and made me wonder why anyone thought it could last. But in 20 years, we may be having to admit we are all wrong about China now too. Who knows? As always, Michael Lewis has an interesting perspective and an honesty that makes the reading interesting.
