Summary: Much needed scholarship in English
Comment: Much has been written about East Asian economies and states, and much of it without a solid basis in scholarship and critical investigation of the subject matter being discussed. This book marks an important foray into that terra incognita, in that it is a work written in English by established scholars, and therefore not only informative but - more importantly - well informed, and hence reliable.

By engaging in a comparative study of East Asian states and their welfare systems, looking at diverse elements such as pension plans and services such as housing, health care, etc., the contributors to this volume look not only to the past and present, but also out into the years to come. The volume is aptly edited by Roger Goodman, lecturer in anthropology and expert on Japan at the Nissan Institute, Oxford University, and fellow of St. Antony's College, Oxford. For those who are not already well acquainted with the East Asian states covered, and who would like to read in English, this is a good recommendation.
