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 contributors examine the factors which contributed to the period of major industrialization from 1870-1940. They trace the roots of this growth back to the seventeenth century rivalry between Japan and China and how this prompted the expansion of Japanese development skills. In each of the nine chapters by some of the most eminent economic historians writing today, the development of the Asian market is regarded as a singularly important pre-condition of Japanese economic growth. While the style is non-technical, details are backed up by diagrams and graphs. "Japanese Industrialization and the Asian Economy" offers a valuable guide to the origins of economic dynamism in the Pacific Rim.
