Ă propos de ce livre
The two-volume set studies the economic and industrial development of Japan and China in modern times and draws distinctions between the different paths of industrialization and economic modernization taken in the two countries, based on statistical materials, quantitative analysis and multivariate statistical analysis.
The first volume, Technological Innovation and Economic Development in Modern Japan, analyses the relationship between technological innovation and economic development in Japan before World War II. It sheds light on technological innovation in the Japanese context with particular emphasis on the importance of the patent system. The second volume, Industrial Development in Modern China: A Quantitative Analysis, examines the basic conditions and overall economic development of industrial development, chiefly during the period of the Republic of China (1912-1949). The author takes a comparative perspective, bringing the case of modern Japan into the discussion.
The set will appeal to academics and general readers interested in economic development and the modern economic history of East Asia, development economics, as well as industrial and technological history.
