A Brief History of Japan's Economy
Japan's impact on the modern world is enormous. Although it merely occupies less than 1/300 of the planet's land area, it wielded 1/6 of the world's planet's economic might at the peak of its economic growth in the 1980s. Till today it remains the 3rd ranking economy in the world, just behind The United States and China.
Its arrival in the world arena was nothing less than dramatic. From just spotting obscure land of paddy fields just a 150 years ago, it had rapidly grew to become a major contender among imperialist powers, a military threat to the world order and then becoming an economic superpower.
