Much has been made of the post-war Japanese economic miracle.
However, the origins of this spectacular success and its effect on
the region can actually be traced back to an earlier period of
Asian history. In "Japanese Industrialization and the Asian
Economy", the authors examine the factors which contributed to the
period of major industrialization from 1870 to 1940. They trace the
roots of this growth back to 17th-century rivalry between Japan and
China and describe how this acted as a spur to the expansion of
Japanese manufacturing skills. They go on to examine how the
development of the Asian market was an important pre-condition of
Japanese economic growth but was, in turn, fostered by that growth.
The volume comprises nine chapters by eminent economic historians.
While the style is non-technical, details are backed up by diagrams
and graphs. "Japanese Industrialization and the Asian Economy"
offers a guide to the origins of economic dynamism in the Pacific
Rim. Latham has also published "Decline and Recovery in Britain's
Overseas Trade 1873-1914", with Platt and Ranald (Macmillan, 1993);
and "The Market in History", with Anderson (Croom Helm, 1986).
