原書：2018年・東洋経済新報社。海外の読者を念頭に一部の内容を改訂・追加・削除すると共に後書きを追加。Masaaki Shirakawa, who led the Bank of Japan as governor from 2008 to 2013, provides a rare insider's account of the workings of Japanese economic and monetary policy during this period and how it challenged mainstream economic thinking. Compared with the Japanese edition, detailed explanation about the Japanese practice and institutions is added to facilitate non-Japanese readers to better understand the Japanese experiences. Explanation about issues too specific to Japan which do not have global implications are dropped in the English edition.
