Abstract

The period preceding the first “oil shock” of 10 years ago was a period of unanticipated high growth for the postwar Japanese economy. This great, high-paced economic growth, indicated by an actual growth rate in GNP that moved into two-digit figures, produced many strains and imbalances but nevertheless elevated Japan in no time at all to the status of a “major economic power.” Nobody, including the Japanese themselves, could have predicted such high growth. For people who are familiar with the state of the economy immediately after World War II and the destruction and rubble that existed then, it was impossible to imagine this economic growth, however diligent Japanese workers may be.
