Social Theory and Japanese Experience

Rating:
Summary: Expensive and dry
Review: I felt attracted by the subject of this book, so I tried and did my best in order to read it. After reading 120 pages, I dropped it. The author effects an exhaustive review of Weberian sociology's shortcomings as far as Japan is concerned, and provides its own interpretaion of this country. But he does it in an extremely arid way. Therefore, the book is excellent ...but only for scholars. Because of its content, it deserves 5 starts but because if its dryness only 1. Therefore, if you are extremely interested in the subject, buy it for your enlightment, not for the pleasure of reading.
