I'm merely sorry that it has taken so long for me to reply to you - my internet has been finicky the last few days, not to mention my VPN.<br /><br />I think that is a fair assessment of the economic policies of Japan, Korea, the PRC and so forth - at least in the long run. But I would also note that in each of these countries, the success these policies met with in producing wealth domestically was a direct result of their having spent the previous decades 'priming the pump' by protecting and publicly investing in fledgling industries. I believe <a href="http://economicsisfordonkeys.blogspot.com/2012/04/meiji-industrialization.html" rel="nofollow">John at <i>EifD</i></a> and <a href="http://socialdemocracy21stcentury.blogspot.com/2012/04/industrial-policy-in-meiji-japan.html" rel="nofollow">Lord Keynes at <i>SDft21C</i></a> have posts on this policy in Meiji-era Japan.<br /><br />Hope this answers your question somewhat!<br /><br />All the best,<br />MattAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4251777016037497783.post-18551032547126948862012-11-02T23:41:26.881-05:002012-11-02T23:41:26.881-05:00Hello Mr Cooper.

The postwar Japanese economic policy seems to be antihumanist from a distributist or conservative view.<br /><br />Thanks for the help.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
