Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing the fullest English-language account of Japanese textiles, Dennis L. McNamara explores the entire sweep of the industry, from the factory to the high-fashion brokerage to the policymaking circle. Tracing the strategies by which the textile industry has survived, he provides a distinctive view of Japanese capitalism in a climate of change. McNamara reconstructs a world riven by the competing interests of state and capital, firm and industry, labor and management, mill and merchant. We encounter giant "mogul" companies and upstart independent "mavericks" - such firms as Toray, Toyobo, Itochu, Tsuzuki, Kondobo, Onward, and Renown - all hustling to restructure for survival.
