What about Japan? I seem to recall there was some
unpleantries with Japan in 1930-1945. Is Japan a
different civilization, or part of the Western
economic world?
Japan modernized from a feudal society to an
industrial society in one or two generations.
However, here's something to think about for all
the Global Trade Panacea advocates. Great Britain
had lots of trade with Nazi Germany before WWII;
the US had trade with Japan before WWII -- and
that trade did nothing to prevent WWII. So much
for our savior, the WTO.
