I did understand though that if I didn't do it for myself, there was nobody else to do it for me. Today, I consider myself the luckiest person in the world.

De bijzondere economische groei van Japan vanaf 1850 verdient onze aandacht. Japan is momenteel de 3de grootste economie ter wereld. Japan was zeer lang het enige niet-Westerse land dat als een geïndustrialiseerde mogendheid aangemerkt kon worden, met een dynamische en welvarende economie.
