English Summary/英文概要： How Japan Can Reinvent Itself and Why This Is Important for America and the World.
In 1979, the book Japan as Number One: Lessons for America by Harvard University professor Ezra Vogel caused a sensation in the United States by pointing out that Japan was surpassing America as world economic leader; the book remains to this day the all-time bestseller in Japan of non-fiction by a Western author. The book was timely: Japan’s subsequent "bubble era" of the 1980s saw the country booming. But since the economic bubble burst at the start of the 1990s, Japan has been in decline.
Japan Restored by Clyde Prestowitz, taking up Vogel’s baton, is written as a vision of Japan in the year 2050, when the country’s economic recovery has made it a world leader in every area of human endeavor. Prestowitz looks back to the year 2014 as such a low point for Japan that a special reform commission was set up that helped the country regain its former position as a leader in technology, in business, and geopolitically. Looking at education, innovation, the role of women, corporate organization, energy, infrastructure, domestic government, and international alliances Prestowitz draws up a fascinating and controversial blueprint for the future success of Japan.
As the eyes of the world turn towards Japan in the run-up to the 2020 Olympics, Japan Restored is as timely as the 1979 Vogel book that inspired it.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 1979年，哈佛大学教授Ezra Vogel的《日本第一》在美国引起了热烈的反响。书中指出，日本正在超越美国成为世界经济的领头羊。这本书现在仍在日本雄踞非虚构类作品畅销排行榜前列。上世纪80年代，日本迎来了经济飞速发展的阶段，但随着经济泡沫的破碎，日本经济从上世纪90年代开始走向衰落。
本书展望了2050年的日本，作者预计那时候日本的经济已经全面恢复，并在各个领域处于全球领先地位。2014年，处于低谷的日本建立了一个特别改革委员会以帮助国家重振雄风。作者从教育、创新、女性地位、公司组织、能源、基础建设、国内政府及国际盟友等诸多方面展开，为日本在未来的成功绘制了一幅迷人却又充满争议的蓝图。
日本获得了2020年奥运会的主办权之后，世界的目光再一次聚焦在这个国家身上，而本书的出版也像《日本第一》那样应景。（LYR）

"Clyde Prestowitz knows Japan well enough to speak about it with authority, likes Japan’s people enough to care about their country’s future, and is inventive and original-minded enough to have come up with a new way to think about an entire nation’s possibilities. This book has the potential to recast discussion of Japan’s way ahead. I hope it is widely read in Japan and around the world." —James Fallows, The Atlantic Monthly
