This is a short, readable, and incisive study of the corrosive
effects of corruption in one of the world's major liberal
democracies. It explores the disconnect between democratic rule and
undemocratic practices in Japan since the Second World War, with
special attention to the corrupt practices of various prime
ministers and the resulting sense of political cynicism and
powerlessness among the general public.
