| Abstract: | This paper argues, on the basis of studies of agriculture and agricultural policy in Japan in the inter-war period, that the post-war structure of protection and support for Japanese agriculture, which has imposed such high costs on consumers and taxpayers and generated so much trade friction, is not simply the result of the rapid industrial growth of the miracle period and Japan's particular political system. Although influenced by these, it can also be seen as the product of the longer-term process of agricultural adjustment in the first rice-cultivating economy to industrialize. |
