Description

This volume addresses issues in the employment practices, labour markets, and health, benefit, and pension policies of the United States and Japan. After an opening chapter assessing the recent ascendance of the U.S. economy, chapters delve into issues of youth employment, participatory employment, information sharing, fringe benefits, and drug coverage in Japan, as well as the dynamics of medical savings accounts, private insurance coverage, and benefit options in the US.

First Sentence

At the turn of the twenty-first century, many analysts view the United States as the peak capitalist economy-the economy whose institutions other countries should emulate.
