Economic Policy in Postwar Japan
Transformation and Interaction
Corporate Governance in Germany and Japan
The Re-Organization of Organized Capitalism
Introduction
Technological Competition and Interdependence
Economic and Demographic Change in Preindustrial Japan, 1600-1868
Systemic Slowdown
More System, Please
Commending Brenner’s overall narrative of post-war economic development, Kozo Yamamura holds it to be nevertheless too narrow—needing more attention to modern capital markets, to historical cycles of technological change, and to institutional differences between the leading industrial states
The End of Diversity
After the devastation of World War II, Germany and Japan built national capitalist institutions that were remarkably successful in terms of national reconstruction and international competitiveness. Yet both "miracles" have since faltered, allowing U.S. capital and its institutional forms to establish global dominance. National varieties of capitalism are now under intense pressure to converge to the U.S. model. Kozo Yamamura and Wolfgang Streeck…
Varieties of Capitalism
The Origins of Nonliberal Capitalism
The German and Japanese economies are more socially and politically regulated, and in this sense less liberal, than their Anglo-American counterparts. In The Origins of Nonliberal Capitalism, an international and interdisciplinary group of scholars explains why and how Germany and Japan developed nonliberal types of capitalism, looking at the institutional histories of the welfare state, the financial system, corporate governance and skill format…

This volume brings together chapters from The Cambridge History of Japan, Volumes 5 and 6, and The Cambridge Economic History of Europe, Volume 7, part 2. Each of the seven chapters, written by leading specialists in Japanese economic history, explains in an authoritative,…
Asia in Japan's Embrace
This book is an incisive analysis of Japan's deepening economic presence in Asia. It challenges neoclassical economists, arguing that instead of simply building a 'yen bloc' or responding to market forces, Japanese business and government elites are working together to build an expanded - and potentially exclusive - production zone. The authors suggest that the transplantation of many standard Japanese business practices in Asia is based on the c…
"The Japanese Political Economy after the "Bubble
Political and economic developments in Japan in the 1990s have generated a wide range of conflicting views on their significance and implications. Before examining those views, let us briefly review the most recent developments. The decade of the 1990s, which is proving to be neither benevolent nor bountiful, began with the bursting of the bubble. The Nikkei index, at Y38,915 on the final trading day of 1989, began to fall on the first trading da…

It provides much new information about the structures, functioning, and policymaking activities of the Japanese civil service. In its analysis, emphasises the degree of competitiveness within the Japanese bureaucracy, the extent to which politi…

Success Illgotten? The Role of Meiji Militarism in Japan's Technological Progress
This study suggests that the militaristic orientation of the Meiji government and the wars fought against China and Russia contributed significantly to technological development in Meiji Japan (1868–1911). The roles played by the arsenals and the government-owned shipyards and factories in adopting and disseminating foreign technology are described to demonstrate their importance in the rapid Meiji industrialization. The article suggests that it …

Japan's Deus Ex Machina
Toward a Reexamination of the Economic History of Tokugawa Japan, 1600-1867
Increasing our knowledge of Tokugawa economic history is important for a better understanding of the causes of the rapid Japanese industrialization which followed, but as yet no attempt has been made to provide a theoretical framework with which to analyze the Tokugawa economy. The cost of neglecting to work out a new economic history of Tokugawa Japan is high. Many Western historians, economic as well as others, continue to make use of findings …

A Quiet Transformation in Tokugawa Economic History

The Increasing Poverty of the Samurai in Tokugawa Japan, 1600–1868
That the ruling samurai class suffered increasing poverty during the Tokugawa period is accepted, without dissent, by all students of Japanese history. However, this view is based primarily on contemporary descriptions of the financial distress felt by the samurai class and has never been established empirically through the use of quantitative data. Most of the literature supporting this long accepted view is highly impressionistic and fails even…
Monetization and integration of markets in Tokugawa Japan
Entrepreneurial Studies in Japan
Where are the Rockefellers, Carnegies, and Fords of recent Japanese history? Their absence may be explained by a lack of scholarly attention to the areas of entrepreneurship, business organization, and managerial practices. Professors Rosovsky and Yamamura review the historiography of Japan's industrialization and place the five articles in this special issue within the context of recent work in business and economic history
The Role of the Samurai in the Development of Modern Banking in Japan
That the modernization of Japanese political and economic institutions during the Meiji period was spearheaded by the government and the samurai class that manned the government is a widely accepted view. One could, with little effort, assemble numerous quotations (in English or Japanese) reiterating this theme with little or no variation. Government-samurai endeavors such as pioneering in modern technology, subsidy programs (tangible and intangi…

Zaibatsu, Prewar and Zaibatsu, Postwar
The Zaibatsu are said to be reviving in Japan. In his widely-readNippon Keizai Nyumon (Introduction to the Japanese Economy)Professor Nagasu wrote in 1959:The Zaibatsu have steadily built their power and have revived. No, more than that. Before the war, the Zaibatsu had to share their hegemony with large landowners and were under the Emperor and the militarists, but now there are no militarists or large landowners. The Emperor, too, has become an…

The Growth Strategies of Southern Railroads, 1865-1893
Railroads were unquestionably a leading sector of economic development in the American South following the Civil War. By appraising the growth strategies followed by southern roads as functions of their profitability, the authors illustrate how the supply of regional transport in the South was patterned by the decisions of competing groups of businessmen

E. H. Norman as an Economic Historian
To WRITE A BOOK on the economic history of Japan, the 1930S was the worst possible time. In Japan, it was the decade in which the rising tide of militarism was stifling academic freedom and when that inconclusive and essentially sterile Methodenstreit between the obscurely named Kaza-ha (the lecture faction) and Rdni-ha (the labor agriculture faction) still lingered. In economics, it was the eve of the Keynesian revolution, which was soon to remo…

Agenda for Asian Economic History
What could and should researchers in Asian economic history do during the decade of the seventies? Given the number and the diversity of Asian nations, this is an extremely large question which a person endowed only with a normal amount of ego and without a thorough knowledge of all Asian economic histories should refrain from even attempting to answer. Apparently, however, my ego is above average in size, and to compensate for my much less than …
