Author(s): Toshiaki Tachibanaki
Publisher: MIT Press
Year: 2005

Language: English
Commentary: ISBN-13 is pulled from https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/confronting-income-inequality-japan, but it is not present in the book. The copy I had (plain black hardcover) only had the ISBN-10, which is slightly different (ends in 85 rather than 82). I put both to be safe.
City: Cambridge, MA
