Yukichi Fukuzawa 1835-1901 The Spirit of Enterprise in Modern Japan

Yukichi Fukuzawa was one of the most effective business entrepreneurs in early modern Japan. He was the inspiration for the Yokohama Specie Bank, without which the Japanese could not have set up a sound banking system. He began the bookstore chain Maruzen. He was adviser to the newly founded shipbuilding and mining giant Mitsubishi and helped bring the house of Mitsui into the modern age. This is both the story of his life and his transforming impact on Japan's economy.Tamaki, Norio is the author of 'Yukichi Fukuzawa 1835-1901 The Spirit of Enterprise in Modern Japan', published 2001 under ISBN 9780333801215 and ISBN 0333801210.
