"Japan's economic bubble burst in the early 1990s, and the country entered its famous "lost decade"--a period of stagnation and economic disruption that persisted until 2003. The current declines in global equity and real estate markets have eerie parallels to Japan's economic woes of the 1990s. If we are to avoid repeating Japan's experience on a global scale, we must under ..."

ISBN-13: 978-1-5126-0134-3, ISBN: 1-5126-0134-9

"The thirty-seven-minute skit, long by vaudeville standards, mainly showcased the musical talents of the fourteen kids. Cantor, in blackface, played the family's wisecracking butler. “Mine was a good part, there's always sympathy in the theater for anyone in a servile capacity; and when I'd talk back to my little Master Buzzell the audience loved it,” Cantor remembered.29 In one scene, Cantor imitated two more famous blackface perfo ..."

"But, Beiser continues, it is “not easy to say” just what historicism amounted to as it has “meant many things to many people.”27 Nonetheless, Beiser insists that several principles characterize any historicism. First, for every version, “all values and institutions are the product of time and place.” Second, “everything in the human world has to be understood within its specific social-historical context,” making all social-histori ..."
