| Summary |
This study indicates that the agricultural production of Japan from 1873 to 1922 was higher than official records indicate, and that this higher rate of Japanese production was partially responsible for the swift economic growth of Japan. Originally published in 1966. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905 |
