战后一段历史时期内,日本经济发展战略的最高原则曾是经济自立原则,或称经济自立至上主义。直至池田内阁时期,才在经济至上主义,高速增长政策指导下被经济合理主义所代替。池田首相的秘书伊藤昌哉回忆说:“池田是以经济合理主义去考虑政治,这是过去完全没有过的。” During the historical period after the war, the supreme principle of Japan’s economic development strategy was the principle of economic self-reliance or economic self-sufficiency. Until Ikeda cabinet period, only under the guidance of economic supremacist, high-speed growth policy was replaced by economic rationalism. Ikeda-chan, secretary of Ikeda’s prime minister, recalled: “Ikeda took economic rationalism to consider politics, which has never been done in the past.”
