ENERGY POLITICS AND SCHUMPETER DYNAMICS - HELMA...

Japan is a country lacking her own energy sources and other natural resource~. Still  over the
4 decades since the end of World War II  she has achieved considerable economic development  a
fact which highlights the success of the policies implemented by the government and their
acceptance by the well matured Japanese society. At present  the world is confronted with
serious environmental problems  for example  the consumption of large amounts of energy that
leads to in creases in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels anq subsequent global warming. After
the oil crisis in the 1970s  Japan strove to reduce energy consumption  and achieved
significant improvements in production efficiency in industry and in the air conditioning of
homes. Another example of her success is in the automobile industry  where Japanese automobiles
enjoy a good reputation for fuel efficiency. Japan has shown that environmental protection and
economic development can be accomplished simultaneously  although the problems have not been
solved completely. There are many areas that require further study. In this book  Dr. Helmar
Krupp describes how society is organized to form a system. Then  in a unique and interesting
turn  he tries to analyze the indus trial development using Schumpeter's theory. Subsequently 
many leaders in the field of energy policy in Japan discuss the issues involved from a variety
of viewpoints.
