Reviews

'. . . the book reviewed here will trigger a further interest in this area of research, and will invite more researchers to seek empirical evidence in the study of post-war industrial growth in Japan.'
*Hiroshi Ohashi, Journal of the Japanese and International Economies*

'This book provides a theoretically informed and empirically illustrative account of modern Japanese industrialization. Ozawa's translation of classical political economy to the Japanese context is both original and accessible and is a welcome addition to the literature on the Japanese variety of capitalism.'
*Tim Reiffenstein, Pacific Affairs*

'Ozawa succeeds in extending, building up, and joining the Akamatsu-Kojima lineage of this unique Japan-born theory of economic development from a fresh, unconventional, and discerning perspective.'
*From the foreword by Kiyoshi Kojima*
