This is an easy-to-read book that explains how and why Japan
industrialized rapidly. It traces historical development from the
feudal Edo period to high income and technology in the current
period. Catch-up industrialization is analyzed from a broad
perspective including social, economic and political aspects.
Historical data, research and contesting arguments are amply
supplied. Japan's unique experience is contrasted with the
practices of today's developing countries. Negative aspects such as
social ills, policy failures, military movements and war years are
also covered. Nineteenth-century Japan already had a happy
combination of strong entrepreneurship and relatively wise
government, which was the result of Japan's long evolutionary
history. Measured contacts with high civilizations of China, India
and the West allowed cumulative growth without being destroyed by
them. Imported ideas and technology were absorbed with adjustments
to fit the local context. The book grew out of a graduate course
for government officials from developing countries. It offers a
comprehensive look and new insights at Japan's industrial path that
are often missing in standard historical chronicles. Written in an
accessible and lively form, the book engages scholars as well as
novices with no prior knowledge of Japan.
