Abstract

Agriculture and Economic Growth and Japanese Economic Growth epitomize the growth of Japanese research that in recent years has outpaced Japan's justly famous economic miracle itself. Theodore W. Schultz, in his Foreword to A & E, describes the book as a (p. xiv); JEG is another great landmark in the study of Japan's growth. Reading these two books together is a rewarding experience. One is largely on agriculture and the other principally on nonagriculture, with certain conflicts of judgment between them with respect to intersectoral relationships. Where useful, however, JEG cites or refers to some of the A & E materials, and there certainly is a measure of methodological unity between the two books.
