Abstract

The article focuses on the transformation of Japanese capitalism, particularly through the lens of Hugh Whittaker's book, *Building a New Economy: Japan's Digital and Green Transformation*. It discusses the historical context of Japanese capitalism, which was once a high-performing model but has faced challenges since the 1980s due to neoliberal reforms. Whittaker proposes a new theoretical framework that positions Japan as a distinct third pole in the global economic landscape, emphasizing the interconnectedness of various initiatives like digital and green transformations. The article highlights Whittaker's analysis of institutional changes and corporate governance, suggesting that Japan is navigating a complex path toward a new socio-economic model while grappling with the legacies of past policies.
