This is part 16 in a series of videos for a freshman course I teach to English language learners in Japan. Videos 14, 15, and 16 are about political economy. Although some of the work may have been adapted slightly, the content for this video series is the result of hard work from my former colleagues Dr. Benjamin Peters and Timothy Stoeckel. I hope the videos are interesting, enjoyable, and educational for you.
