Abstract:

"After World War II, a prostrate Japan picked itself up, dusted itself off, and went to work fashioning an economic miracle. Today, the little island-nation stands as a world economic power, outperforming the countries that defeated it not so very long ago. How did Japan reach such as lofty position? What role did that Japanese work ethic play? This insightful program provides some surprising answers. Produced by the FWU, Germany." No. 5164-253.
