摘要:

Now that Japan is the world's largest creditor nation, her economic responsibility is the biggest ever. By examining the nature of the three revolutions in Japanese society since the Meiji Restoration, it is apparent that while the speed of economic structural change has been remarkably high, other aspects of the Japanese social framework have remained archaic and premodern.After discussing the structural changes in the Japanese, Asian, and U.S. economies, this paper makes a case for structural changes in the Japanese political, bureaucratic, and diplomatic world. The new perspective to be suggested is (1) to change the system to utilize more of individuals' initiatives, less of the regulated, restrained, and group‐shackled way of management, and (2) for Japan to take positive leadership in a new global political economy based on the principle of independent and equal partnership in the world for world peace and stabilit

This paper offers an alternative systematic economic interpretation of the “Japanese Miracle” which has transference to other countries. It is based on the Ricardo Principle, and uses purchasing‐power‐parity data to analyze Japanese development policies that led to successfully “leapfrogging” the process of economic development. The state of underdevelopment, with initial conditions that led to specialization in labor‐intensive, low‐value‐added exports, and resulted in low wages and low living standards was ended “prematurely” in the 1960s, lest the country be trapped in its static comparative advantage. The state of development was then launched, with specialization in capital‐ and technology‐intensive exports that had dynamic comparative advantage down‐the‐road. The process is characterized as “State‐led capitalism,” with the government using its strong arm to the pu
