When it first appeared, this historical overview of the evolution of Hawai'i's political economy opened a new and innovative perspective on Hawai'i's history and contemporary dilemmas. Now, a decade later, Kent adds an epilogue providing an overview of the Japanese investment spree, the impact of national economic restructuring on Hawai'i's tourism industry, the crises of local politics, and the Hawaiian sovereignty movement as a potential source of renewal.
