Description

Explore the hidden side of Japan's economic rise with this insightful study from Routledge. While much of the world viewed Japan as a rising superpower or "Japan as number 1," this book examines the reality behind the wealth. It looks at the fragility and human costs that accompanied the nation's drive for hyperdevelopment. As the economy faced uncertainty, the text analyzes several major events that defined this era of crisis. The author connects the Kobe Earthquake to the consequences of rapid hypergrowth, suggesting it was more than just a natural disaster. The book also investigates the Ayum Rikyo poison incident to illustrate the environmental and social impacts of unchecked economic expansion. This work provides a deep look into the hubris and the environmental consequences of a nation striving for extreme growth. It is an essential read for those interested in business and economic history, offering a different perspective on the costs of being an economic superpower.
