Book Request - Best Summary of Japanese Bust Experience?

[bobozou]

Would love a book recommendation to get me educated on Japan's experience in 80s/90s

 

1) Am looking for book that outlines causes/lead-up to Japanese boom

2) Am looking for book that outlines 'signs of froth'

3) Am looking for book that outlines 'catalysts for eventual bust'

4) Am looking for book that outlines 'signs of coming bust'

5) Am looking for book that outlines policy/societal responses (more so in 80s/90s than 2000s)

6) not really looking for a book that JUST chronicles the BOJ's losing fight against deflation past 2 decades

I enjoyed this one: http://www.amazon.com/Saving-Sun-Street-Trillion-Dollar-Meltdown/dp/006055424X

I think it hits on most of your points.
