By concentrating on reconstructing the country after the devastation of war, our leaders brought about an economic miracle. Japan became the world’s second-ranking industrial power, and almost all Japanese enjoyed lifestyles and levels of social security that their parents could never have imagined.
20世纪80年代前，这种选择自有其道理。通过专注经受战争破坏后的国家重建，我们的领导人成功创造了经济奇迹。日本成为世界排名第二的工业强国，而且几乎所有日本国民都享受到超出其父辈想象的社会保障水平和生活方式。
