Editorial Reviews

Noting that the economic "miracle" of Japan after World War II has obscured the fact that it has been the world's fastest growing economy since the 1870s, Nafziger (economics, Kansas State U.) examines the features of that growth to see if any of them might help the 54 countries in Africa and Asia that have grown the least during the same period.
