The book begins with an editors' introduction that provides a
conceptual setting for a comparative study of the role of policy in
the development of the postwar Japanese and West German economies.
It then offers detailed comparative analyses of developments in the
two countries on seven substantive topics: an overview of
macroeconomic change; economic advisory and planning; monetary
control; inflation control; labour markets and wage determination;
agriculture and social security and welfare. It ends with an
editor's summary and conclusion.
This book examines the lives and times of Japan's postwar prime
ministers, covering the period from 1945 to 1995. Written by
Japan's leading scholars, it is the first English-language
biographical portrait of these twenty-three individuals who helped
lead Japan on its road to recovery, its return to the community of
nations, and its subsequent prosperity. Each chapter brings out, to
varying degrees, the larger political and historical environment,
party dynamics, and personality traits of the prime ministers. In
addition, the book discusses not only the policy choices the prime
ministers made, but how those decisions were made and what the
consequences were for the country, ruling party, and the individual
who made them. The Prime Ministers of Postwar Japan, 1945-1995
fills a large void in the literature on postwar Japan by
introducing the actual people who made the decisions during these
important years, rather than simply discussing the theories and
institutions in which those decisions were made.
