Over the past 150 years since the Meiji Restoration, Japan has made rapid progress on the road to modernization and industrialization and achieved world-renowned economic development achievements. In 1968, Japan surpassed Germany and became the second largest economy in the capitalist world. After entering the 1990s, Japan fell into the "lost decade", with its economic growth stagnating and struggling to move forward in the quagmire of loss.
Why was Japan able to catch the rapid economic growth train early and become the second largest economy in the capitalist world more than 20 years after World War II? After entering the 1990s, why did the Japanese economy eclipse again? How should we move toward new life now?
The well-known Japanese scholar Takero Tachibana analyzed the Japanese economy and the rise and fall of Japanese enterprises from the perspective of business history. At the same time, he also took a different approach and painted portraits of entrepreneurs such as Eiichi Shibusawa, Toshio Domitsu, and Kazan Kobayashi who were active in the history of Japanese business.
