Why has Japanese industrialisation been so much faster than that of
China? The relative economic development of Japan and China from
similar nineteenth-century conditions are examined in broad
philosophical, social, political and historical perspective. The
book challenges a common assumption that Chinese Confucianism does
not encourage modernisation, while Japanese Confucianism propelled
industrialisation forward. It examines further reasons why Max
Weber's judgement, 'the Chinese would be probably more capable than
the Japanese, of assimilating capitalism', has not been borne out.
