The Year of No Money in Tokyo

There is a new book out written by New York City native Wayne Lionel Aponte, an African-American journalist and teacher, who has lived in Japan for almost two decades. According to his website, Aponte  has written for several publications, including  The New York Times, The Financial Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, and The Nation. I have not received a copy of the book to review it but please check out the Wayne Lionel Aponte interview here. In the meantime, I will keep plugging away on my book! By the way, you may enjoy this post by NPR's Planet Money on Shadow Banking.
