Human Resources in Japanese Industrial Development

By: Hisashi Kawada,Solomon B. Levine

By focusing on the educational and skill training institutions Japan has developed to generate human resources for modern industry, this book represents a new contribution to the historical analysis of Japan's modern economic growth. The authors concentrate on those large-scale industries that seem to pose the greatest challenges for an agrarian society, such as Japan was in the 1870's, in order to show how an economically less developed country becomes an advanced industrialized nation. Originally published in 1980. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

THE PROMISED LAND OF ISRAEL

An In-Depth Look at Zionism in the Quran and in Jewish History

By: Solomon Pournia

What would you say if the Holy Quran turned out to contain components consistent with Zionism? What if the Quran in its very philological content blesses and encourages the Jews to live in the land of Israel? What if billions of Muslims were to be made aware of the clearly "pro-Zionist" verses in the Quran and were to alter their worldview to welcome the Jews in their ancestral homeland? One of them is Sura Al-Ma'ida 5:21, which has a striking significance as a powerful command from Allah, as interpreted by the renowned Muslim exegetes, including Al-Tabari. On the other hand, the examining of the status of al-Aqsa Mosque being the third-holiest site in the Muslim world, as well as the status of the city of Jerusalem from Muslims' and Jews' viewpoint, would reveal fully new perspectives. Ever since 1937, there have been multiple attempts to resolve the Arab-Jewish conflict to no avail. The hidden religious aspect of the conflict has been generally neglected by the parties. Accordingly, the Muslim world is often subjected to provocation by zealous clerics and politicians who implement anti-Jewish propaganda, including the misinterpretation of the Quranic verses. This book will tackle on the very sensitive topics alluded above and should serve as an eye-opener for Muslim politicians, traditional clerics, Muslims in general and the interested Westerners.. The welldocumented accuracy and authenticity of the quoted facts render them beyond malicious interpretation.

Building an Opportunity Society

A Realistic Alternative to an Entitlement State

By: Lewis D. Solomon

Twenty-first-century US policymakers face a great challenge: How can federal government help more people achieve the American dream? Specifically, how can we provide greater opportunities for less-prosperous individuals, enabling them to succeed through hard work, on their merits, and take increased responsibility for their lives? Lewis D. Solomon sees this as the challenge of our time. He seeks to thread the fine public policy needle between social democratic efforts to perfect the world and those who negatively view public sector programs. Based on the premise that capitalism is not inherently unjust and defective, and American capitalism’s structural features do not inexorability thwart opportunity, Building an Opportunity Society offers the possibility of more limited, carefully structured, cost-effective, empirically verified federal policies and programs. Solomon first provides the background and context of many existing domestic challenges and problems that the current and proposed federal policies and programs seek to address. He then analyzes the federal safety net that keeps Americans from poverty and helps reduce income inequality. Finally, he presents a lifecycle analysis of current federal policies and programs, preventive and remedial, designed as part of the Entitlement State, but if restructured could facilitate the building of an Opportunity Society. Solomon challenges policymakers to take a fresh look at how best to achieve society’s goals for all citizens.
