Description

Discover why Japan's legendary economic miracle faltered after decades of success. This Routledge analysis examines how policies designed for the 1950s-1960s catch-up phase became obstacles when Japan entered new phases of economic development. The book traces the root causes of Japan's economic malaise, revealing how outdated structures, policies, and mental habits prevented necessary reform and allowed growth to stagnate. Essential reading for understanding how even the world's most acclaimed economic systems can become rigid and counterproductive without adaptation. Ideal for business professionals, economists, and anyone seeking insight into how nations transition from rapid growth to sustainable long-term prosperity.

Key Features

Examines the mental habits and institutional structures that prevented Japan from successfully reforming its economy during periods of stagnation.

Provides historical business and economic context for understanding Japan's decades-long economic challenges and policy gridlock.
