Japan's economic miracle. How professional government and business built the world's leading economy

This book is devoted to uncovering the secrets of the Japanese economic miracle, which transformed war-torn Japan into one of the largest economies in the world. Author Chalmers Johnson takes a detailed look at the work of Japan's Ministry of International Trade and Industry, where government and business jointly developed strategies that helped Japanese companies such as Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Toyota Motor Corporation, Sony Corporation and many others become world leaders.

The book demonstrates that the Japanese "miracle" was the result of purposeful efforts and well-planned work. Instead of waiting for a miracle, the Japanese designed and implemented it themselves. This publication is useful for anyone who is interested in the economic development of the country and wants to know how a war-torn country can be transformed into a world leader.

The book's author, Chalmers Johnson, was a professor emeritus at the University of California, San Diego, and served as a consultant to the CIA and president and co-founder of the Japan Policy Research Institute.
