The LDP, formed in 1955, had not done much actual ruling after helping to coordinate postwar reconstruction, which extended without debate into an unofficial but very real national policy of, in principle, unlimited expansion of industrial capacity. Other possible priorities hardly ever entered political discussions.
日本自民党自1955年创立以来除了协助战后重建外实际上没有实施多少实际统治。随后这种重建政策被大家心照不宣地演变成为一个非正式但却实实在在的日本国家政策，那就是追求工业生产能力的无限扩张。其他潜在首要政策几乎都无法被纳入政治辩论中。
