The most significant debate in global economic history over the
past twenty years has dealt with the Great Divergence, the economic
gap between different parts of the world. Thus far, this debate has
focused on China, India and north-western Europe, particularly
Great Britain. This book shifts the focus to ask how Japan became
the only non-western county that managed, at least partially, to
modernize its economy and start to industrialize in the 19th
century. Using a range of empirical data, Peer Vries analyses the
role of the state in Japan's economic growth from the Meiji
Restoration to World War II, and asks whether Japan's economic
success can be attributed to the rise of state power. Asserting
that the state's involvement was fundamental in Japan's economic
'catching up', he demonstrates how this was built on legacies from
the previous Tokugawa period. In this book, Vries deepens our
understanding of the Great Divergence in global history by
re-examining how Japan developed and modernized against the odds.
