Wtf are you talking about? Nobody outside of finance has ever heard of the likes of Nomura until Lehman went down and some of its Asian deadbeat assets were bought by Nomura. Soon after it realized that it had zero appetite to take on more risk and shut down all formerly acquired trading ops from Lehman in Asia. Nobody has ever heard of MUFJ or other Japanese banks. I think you are glorifying the former Japanese might well beyond what it was capable of.
Let's keep this short. Check the date of the book. The House of Nomura: The Inside Story of the Legendary Japanese Financial Dynasty
They ARE superior over every other race, but the big advantage they have going for them is that they quietly enjoy it, they don't brag about it and don't aim to dominate the world. But in almost every respect of life they are far more superior than European or North American cultures and societies.
WOW! They themselves might think so, but I think they are not superior, just a few years ahead of the others in technological development, therefore just a bunch of sicko racists, nothing more.
Bullshit book, I checked it a while ago. Nomura was always a shit yet domestically powerful brokerage house that had no qualms to be knee-deep involved in corruption, buying favors with politicians and working with the yakuza. For decades. It's a company that is greatly opposed to women in leadership, with old farts chain smoking and hacking out borderline illegal and unlawful dead with some crappy companies all motivated to compete with GS and MS in Japan. One of the potentially worst companies to ever work for. I was in Japan for over a decade and worked in exactly that industry and heard tons of stories about Nomura and Daiwa. Nothing glorious about them whatsoever.
Well, that's your opinion. You probably have never lived there or are not married to any of them or have never spent a significant enough amount of time with any of them in order to make your judgment in any way meaningful...
