The growth idea Purpose and prosperity in postwar Japan - Honolulu University of Hawaii Press 2009 - 261

ГФ 20745

This book reinterprets this through an exploration of the history of growth as a set of discourses by which Japanese “growth performance” as “economic miracle” came to be articulated. The book traces the history of growth as an object of social scientific knowledge and as a new analytical paradigm that came to govern the terms by which Japanese understood their national purposes and imagined a newly materialist vision of social and individual prosperity. The book presents accounts of the key role played by the ideal of full employment in national conceptions of recovery and of a new valorization of consumption in the postwar world that was taking shape. Both of these, the book argues, formed critical components in a constellation of ideas that even in the context of relative poverty and uncertainty coalesced into a powerful vision of a materially prosperous future.
