Materials contained in this book were initially made available on the Englishlanguage website for a Master’s program at the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS) in Tokyo. They were then translated into Japanese and published in book form for the benefit of Japanese readers in early 2005. However, it soon became clear that the book was very much wanted by non-Japanese readers as well. I was approached by foreign students in Japan and publishers abroad for permission to translate it into other languages including Arabic, Chinese, and Vietnamese. While the Japanese edition can serve as the original, it would be much easier to secure good and fast. | The Path Traveled by Japan as a Developing Country The Economic Development of Japan The Path Traveled by Japan as a Developing Country Kenichi Ohno Translated from Kenichi Ohno Tojokoku Nippon no Ayumi Edo kara Heisei madeno Keizai Hatten The Path Traveled by Japan as a Developing Country Economic Growth from Edo to Heisei Yuhikaku Publishing Co.
