His fresh interpretation highlights the many connections between Japan's economic revival and changes that occurred in the wider world during the 1950s. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on a wealth of recently released American, British, and Japanese archival records, Forsberg demonstrates that American Cold War strategy and the U.S. commitment to liberal trade played a central role in promoting Japanese economic welfare and in forging the economic relationship between Japan and the United States. The price of economic opportunity and interdependence, however, was a strong undercurrent of mutual frustration, as patterns of conflict and compromise over trade, investment, and relations with China continued to characterize the postwar U.S.-Japanese relationship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForsberg's emphasis on the dynamic interaction of Cold War strategy, the business environment, and Japanese development challenges \"revisionist\" interpretations of Japan's success. In exploring the complex origins of the U.S.-led international economy that has outlasted the Cold War, Forsberg refutes the claim that the U.S. government sacrificed American commercial interests in favor of its military partnership with Japan. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aaron Forsberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1469613751\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781469613758\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of North Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Aaron Forsberg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44065800290559,"sku":"9781469613758","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8977af60-060f-47bb-af81-897d896bf6e0.jpg?v=1685403570","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/america-and-the-japanese-miracle-aaron-forsberg-9781469613758","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
