Hodges Sr. Series on Business, Entrepreneurship and Public Policy)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this book, Aaron Forsberg presents an arresting account of Japan's postwar economic resurgence in a world polarized by the Cold War. His fresh interpretation highlights the many connections between Japan's economic revival and changes that occurred in the wider world during the 1950s. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on a wealth of recently released American, British, and Japanese archival records, Forsberg demonstrates that American Cold War strategy and the U.S. commitment to liberal trade played a central role in promoting Japanese economic welfare and in forging the economic relationship between Japan and the United States. The price of economic opportunity and interdependence, however, was a strong undercurrent of mutual frustration, as patterns of conflict and compromise over trade, investment, and relations with China continued to characterize the postwar U.S.-Japanese relationship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eForsberg's emphasis on the dynamic interaction of Cold War strategy, the business environment, and Japanese development challenges \"\"revisionist\"\" interpretations of Japan's success. In exploring the complex origins of the U.S.-led international economy that has outlasted the Cold War, Forsberg refutes the claim that the U.S. government sacrificed American commercial interests in favor of its military partnership with Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The University of North Carolina Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48937037529323,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":86.98,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9781469613758","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
