    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    This book explores the substantial and dynamic innovations of the wartime era, identifying this period as the most influential for Japan's post-war economic structure. Erich Pauer and a team of leading Japanese and German scholars discuss important aspects of the Japanese wartime economy, including:
    * ideological background
    * the Japanese 'planned economy'
    * technical mobilization
    * women and the war economy
    * socio-economic change
    * food shortages, the black market and economic crime
    * national policy companies
    * financial reforms


    'In making these findings available to a non-Japanese audience Pauer and his colleagues have provided a useful guide to a considerable body of otherwise barely accessible literature on the role of the war in Japan's long-term development.' - Kenneth D. Brown, The Economic History Review
