This book looks at Japan's early economic modernization to see if
today's low-income countries can learn any lessons. The author
focuses on education, technology policy, capital formation, the
transfer of savings from agriculture to industry, state aid to the
private sector, improvement engineering in the informal sector, low
wages, industrial dualism, export expansion, and resistance to
Western imperialism (a strategy which included acquiring its own
empire) under Japan's "guided capitalism". He criticizes
modernization scholars for underemphasizing the damage of
imperialism and the importance of economic autonomy and
technological learning, the dependency school for prescribing trade
reduction and neglecting market exchange-rate policies, and
world-system theorists for rejecting the possibility of global
economic growth.
