To accomplish thistask, this book will use two different methods ofanalysis. The first method will be a synchronicanalysis of the level of industrial development andeconomic infrastructure within countries thatexperienced economic crisis. The second method willbe a diachronic analysis of Japans economicinfrastructure since 1800 to identify the factorsthat enabled Japan to build a modern economy.
