Japan's escape from colonialism and its subsequent industrialisation has taken it to the point where its economy is second only to that of the US. This comprehensive volume examines how this rapid change of fortunes occurred, and the impact it has had on East Asia and the world at large. Taking a wide range and focus, Inkster looks at the history of Japan's industrial development in a social and cultural context.

This text provides a detailed examination of the industrial development of Japan since th Meiji restoration (1868) and shows the extent to which Japan's own urbanization played a crucial role in its overall economic development.

In this book the contributors trace the origins of the post-war Japanese economic miracle and its spectacular effect on the region as a whole.
