Past to Future: Japan’s Economic Rise
- Details
ISET would like to thank the Japanese embassy for organizing and sponsoring our latest public lecture, graciously arranged by ambassador Akira Imamura. The ambassador kindly addressed the audience and offered his introductions to Professor Masahiko Takeda, who went on to pose a captivating presentation on the history and future of the Japanese economy. Reviewing the transition of the Japanese economy, from the perspective of a lead economist and educator, Professor Takeda neatly highlighted the history, economic development, and prospects of one of the most technologically advanced nations.
Japan suffered heavily after the Second World War, but after stabilizing hyperinflation, unlike many Western nations, the country was able to redouble its growth; and by 1968 Japan had bounced back from the trails of war and even held the second largest GDP in the world. Consequently, the country was able to preserve its traditions during challenging times.
