Reflections on Japanese and English industrialization

[LongPela]

Really interesting. Check out the book Japan Through the Looking Glass. Understanding a completely different society to one's own is not just interesting it is liberating because it brings forces us to reconsider all of the 'given's' in our own society. And Alan MacFarlane is such a humble, unshowy, yet reassuringly knowledgeable guide.

Cropperb is full of shit, If japan couldn't and didn't industrialize without american then how can you explain the vast industrial complex they used to wage WWII to begin with?

fascinating.

Modern Japanese prosperity is due to the economic system forced on Japan by America afer WWII. Because of the American-mandated system, Japan and Germany are today the second and third economies on the planet.
