Review

'Penny Franck's Japanese Economic Development has since it's publication become a staple text for undergraduate and graduate courses in Japanese economic history, and this widespread use is testimony to its appeal and quality.The author has now undertaken substantial reveisions to the first edition in a way which incoroprates more recent literature and also loactes Japan's experience more into the development studies context of the 1990s. In particular the revised version helops to emphasise more than its predecessor the significance of the pre-war Japanese experience for the post-1945 growth of the Japanese economy.

The end result remains a clearly written, well focused text which can be used to introduce major features of Japan's pre-World War II economic development both to those with an interest in development economics and to those coming from a Japanese Studies background. The revised version is likely to be even more popular among students and teachers than the earlier one.' - Janet Hunter, the London School of Economics
