Japan has kept up very low level of public expenditure along with very rapid industrialization during the postwar period. Nevertheless, Japan has managed to achieve a fairly egalitarian social structure (Estevez-Abe 2008). When historically compared, Japan would be one of the countries that experienced the most rapid industrialization and the most compressed modernization during the postwar era.
