Well, as it said... What if (and HOW) the 'japanese miracle' in the 60s never happened, or if Japan grew more moderatly and humbly? How would be the world without the economical might of Japan in past decades?

1. Economically, would things change a lot, in Asia specially? I can see that the rise of the 'Dragons' of Asia may not happens, smaller and lesser, or divergent..

What of USA? The 80s saw a chalenge directy...

And the wild card possibly, China? Deng Xiaoping would have rised anyway, and brought his reforms still, or butterflied away?

2. Politically, related.. More or less animosity toward Japan in Asia, specially Japan? How the relations between Japan and USA evolves? changes in power relations betweens asian nations?

3. Culturaly... Quite so butterflies probably. Anime and manga much less popular due to the soft power, and the videogamign markets may be quite different.. Atari rises again in America, computers domination in Europe?
