Is the Japanese economy really unique? Recent scholarship has produced a variety of theories that question Japan's special nature and immunity to the norms of textbook economics. This set collects the major English-language contributions to the theories of the structure and performance of the Japanese economy in the twentieth century. It covers a wide range of topics, including those related to:

• pre-war Japanese growth and development
• post-war growth
• international trade
• the theory of the Japanese firm

This four-volume set is Part 1 of an eight-volume collection. Part 1 explores the course of modern Japanese growth both in terms of Japan's factor endowments and the pre-war history which shaped the evolution of its capitalism. It also covers the wide range ofliterature on the nature of Japan's comparative advantage and the way in which this has shaped Japanese trade. In this context, the sources of and solutions to trade conflict are also explored.

This set will appeal to a broad cross-section of researchers with interests in the Japanese economy, and will give the reader access to the most important debates about the contours of the modern Japanese economy and their evolution. Many of the articles will also be accessible to non-economists, and will be of particular interest to political scientists. The Japanese Economy constitutes the largest and most comprehensive collection available on the economics of Japan, and will prove an invaluable resource for anyone researching or working in this field.
