| Abstract: | This paper analyzes the relationship between Confucian values and modern Japanese economic development, especially in terms of the adaptation of selected Confucian values by pre- and post- World War II Japanese industrialists and government officials toward the formation of a modern Japanese ideology of capitalist economic development. The use of such Confucian values is examined in terms of their appearance in three different areas of Japanese social life: education, the workplace, and the role and attitudes of the government bureaucracy. While such values were consciously used by elites to further economic development, they also reflected in many cases the elite's own personal ethical values. |
