This text is as a result of extensive dialogue between two leading business figures, which considers the changes occuring in the economic world today and identifying the challenges that free market and free enterprises now face with specific reference to China and Japan. It focuses upon what these economic changes mean for an individual country and its economy, what do these changes mean to Japan and what do these changes mean to society, the individual company, the professional and the executive. It is these questions that Drucker and Nakauchi address in their insight into the future economic role of Asia.
