East Asia and the Global Economy: Japan’s Ascent, with Implications for China’s Future

The provided Book excerpts analyze the economic ascent and subsequent stagnation of Japan, focusing on its strategic exploitation of global raw materials (coal and iron ore) and transport industries. State-sector-firm collaborations, particularly involving MITI, played a crucial role in achieving this success. The analysis extends to examining how Japan’s model impacted its raw materials suppliers, particularly in Australia, Canada, and Brazil, creating global inequalities. Finally, the text explores China's emulation of the Japanese model and the potential challenges and opportunities presented by China's rise as a global economic power.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/book_shelterGet the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/East-Asia-Global-Economy-Globalization/dp/0801885930?&linkCode=ll1&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=117981a6776f1d26df9e8bc420b6abaf&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlProduced by Podcai Studio:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
