Ryuzo Sato is C.V. Starr Professor of Economics and Director of the Center for Japan-U.S. Business and Economics Studies at the Stern School of Business at New York University. An Adjunct Professor of the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University and a Research Associate of the National Bureau of Economics Research, Sato was the recipient of the first Yomiuri Rondansho Award in Social Science Writing in 1991. Steeped in the business culture of both nations, he has for over 30 years divided his time lecturing and conducting research in Japan and the United States.

"Sato knows both Japanese realities and American dissatisfactions. He sees things from a rare vantage point. Some Japanese may feel he is too critical of Japan, while more Americans may think he overly values the Japanese model. But both can learn much from his book and, after reading it, will be convinced that he talks a great deal of sense and conclude that united, the two nations stand to gain, divided, to lose." - Masamichi Hanabusa ,Former Japanese Consul General, author of Trade Problems Between Japan and Western Europe "[Sato] sets out to tell Japanese readers how their country looks from the U.S. and whyin his opinionsome American criticisms of Japan are right ... [Sato] strikes gold with a list of things Japan can do to put itself right with the rest of the world." (Far Eastern Economic Review)
