>[Jon] Halliday, who is 66 years old and married to Jung Chang, is a horse of
another color. In 1975 he wrote "A Political History of Japanese
Capitalism," a MR book that is must reading if you want to understand how
modern Japan evolved. Around this time he was also on the board of New Left
Review and Bulletin of Concerned Asian Scholars. How he ended up writing
such a book is a real mystery.<

is it possible that he's an old Maoist whose "god" failed? (like the
old CPers and associates who flipped out and became totally anti-CP
back in the 50s.)
