Martin Bronfenbrenner and Japan's Post-WWII Economic Recovery
Abstract
This paper explores the economic recovery of post-World War II Japan through the eyes
of the late Duke professor and American economist Martin Bronfenbrenner. Specifically,
we address the period of US Occupation from 1947-1952, detailing how Bronfenbrenner
sensitized America to Japanese economics. Along the way, Bronfenbrenner faced several
obstacles as his loyalty to the US was questioned due to his growing attachment to
the Japanese culture and passion for its crisis. Using a methodological approach,
we begin with Bronfenbrenner’s initial encounter with a fallen Japan, and conclude
with a thorough analysis of his vision for Japan’s reconstruction.
