Japan, the argument went, was too different in too many ways for the North Atlantic to serve as an economic-development model. And the export-oriented manufacturing firms that had been stimulated and shepherded by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry were not the core around which the rest of the Japanese economy would crystallize, but rather a separate and walled-off estate.
这一观点指出，在经济发展模式上，日本在太多方面与北大西洋太过不同。有通产省刺激和引导的出口导向型制造企业并没有成为日本经济其他部门附着其上的结晶核，而变成了不开放的堡垒。
