Online "In just 25 years we have gone from the American century to the American crisis," Felix Rohatyn, financier & social critic, sets the theme: the fateful challenge to American industrial supremacy. Five years in the making, THE RECKONING reveals a society that got too rich for its own good, racing thru its postwar prosperity, developing wasteful habits. Finally in the mid-70s it fell prey to an unlikely rival: Japan, a nation only recently scorned for the low quality of its goods. This chastening study, portrays the conflict between the culture of affluence & that of adversity. It's a high-minded reminder that America's greatness is on the line & that vigilance is the price of survival.Maxwell's warning --Amaya surveys the oil age --Detroit's bleak winter of 1982 --The founder --The destroyer --The victor --The banker --The turning point --The crushing of Masuda --Tough little rich boy --The whiz kids --Ford goes public --The quiet man --The Gaijin teachers --The engineer --The first victory --Deming finds an audience --Henry Kaiser tries Detroit --The organizer --The Mustang --The rivals --The statue --The boss --The pioneer --The liberation of Yukata Katayama --The Emperor Shioji --War and oil --Henry Ford besieged --The alienated --Citizen Nader --Datsun saves --The struggle at the top --Big cars again --A vacancy at Chrysler --The arrivistes --Greathouse in Tokyo --A man of the system --Hard times come home --The fall of a free trader --Amaya ends an era --The defection of Marvin Runyon --The hammer and the nail --A grateful worker --Bonus time again --The scion --The new American hero --The raiders --OPEC unravels --The upstarts --The jobs depart --Instant replay : the rise of Korea --The venerables --The reckoning --The past becomes the futureAuthor's NoteBibliographyIndex For Full
