在开创了日本漫画历史的漫画家里,在开创了日本漫画历史的漫画家里,石森章太郎是与藤子.F.不二雄,赤冢不二夫,横山光辉等人同时代的大师级人物,他对日本漫画的贡献也是无可比拟的。在他的一生众多的作品里,《假面骑士》是最具创意的一部,本作品曾经使超人战队系漫画和影视文化成为只有日本人能接受的,最独特的商业文化之一。但是,石森章太郎由于没能脱离60年代时超人漫画潮流,曾一度沉沦。在创作了一部描写日美经济冲突的政经漫画巨著后,石森才再度崛起。石森章太郎现在已经逝世了,他留下的众多漫画作品将作为漫画史上重要的文物保存下去,可从他个人的角度来讲,和手冢治虫这样的大神生活于同一时代,实在是他的不幸。1998年1月28日去世,去世时他才刚满六十岁生日没几天。在过世后,得到了四等功勋的旭日绶章,以及日本漫画家协会颁发的文部大臣奖、手冢治虫文化奖送来的特别奖等。

内容简介

编辑

They are burning Japanese cars in Detroit. The top management at Toyosan Motors must decide whether to begin offshore production of its cars in the U.S. But our hero Mr. Kudo fears that offshore production will devastate the numerous local subcontractors of Toyosan, leading to a hollowing out of the auto industry in Japan, leaving only a financial shell. The American color TV industry has already suffered such a fate. The villain, Mr. Tsugawa, calls Kudo a wimp and sees a splendid opportunity for union busting. Will our hero prevail?

Thus begins the first episode of this rollicking yet incisive introduction to the world economy from the Japanese point of view. Other episodes treat the appreciation of the yen, the impact of the 1970s oil shocks, deficit financing, the internationalization of business and banking, and the post-industrial future of Japan and the Pacific Rim.

The book is an English edition of volume 1 of Manga Nihon keizai nyumon, originally published in 1986 by Nihon Keizai Shimbun, the Japanese equivalent of the Wall Street Journal. It is based on a serious introductory text put out by the newspaper and is packed with informative charts and facts. When the comic book was first published in Japan, it was an immediate best-seller, selling over 550,000 copies in less than a year.

The stories in the book reflect Japan's national mood during the "Japanese miracle" and into the 1980s economic bubble: apprehension and optimism jostle one another, and there is a sense of national self-pity. The book also reflects a deep suspicion of politics and bureaucrats. The prime minister appears more worried about his government's popularity than about taking the right economic course. Ultimately, the employees at Toyosan Motors demonstrate that the success of the Japanese economy will not depend on natural resources or politics but on business practices that are ethical, socially responsible, and forward-looking.
