The Allied Occupation and Japan's Economic Miracle - Building the Foundations of Japanese Science and Technology 1945-52 (Hardcover)

Addresses the significance of the enormous contributions in science and technology towards the realization of Japan's "Economic Miracle" during the occupation of Japan. In particular, the text examines the work of the Scientific and Technical Division of McArthur's GHQ. The Scientific and Technical Division encouraged the creation of new national bodies concerned with science and technology. It persuaded the Japanese Government to create new and more efficient means of dealing with technological matters (including industrial standards, quality control, patents and other intellectual property), and managed the sending abroad of scientists and engineers, government officials and industrialists to observe up-to-date practices in other countries.
