Presents an account of Japan's postwar economic resurgence in a world polarized by the Cold War. Aaron Forsberg's interpretation highlights the many connections between Japan's economic revival and changes that occurred in the wider world during the 1950s. He demonstrates that American Cold War strategy and the US commitment to liberal trade played a central role in promoting Japanese economic welfare and in forging the economic relationship between Japan and the US.
