Would you like to own a Japanese car, laptop or camera? Who wouldn't want to? But do you know what went on behind the scenes of the Japanese economic miracle that transformed war-torn Japan into the world's second largest economy?

Chalmers Johnson shows that the Japanese miracle was entirely man-made and well planned. The author takes the reader inside the brain trust behind economic reforms, the Japanese Ministry of International Trade and Industry. It was there, behind closed doors, that the government and business worked together to develop strategic decisions that influenced the international success of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Toyota Motor Corporation, Sony Corporation, and others.

Instead of waiting for a "miracle", the Japanese designed and systematically implemented it. Ukraine should learn this lesson.
