After the World War II, GHQ/SCAP made far-reaching economic reforms which aimed not only to disarm Japan, but also to reform its socio-economic structure. These reforms, named as "democritization", included zaibatsu dissolution, land reform, and labor reform. Democratization, proceeded drastically between 1945 and 1947, almost ceased in the latter part of the occupation period, especially after the peace-treaty. But it does not mean that the democratization was denied. Actually, it was institutionalized and incorporated in the postwar Japanese capitalism. Occupation forces gave the higest priority to the dissolution of zaibatsu combines which were regarded as pillars of the militarism. The next action was the enactment of the anti-monoply acts. The anti-monopoly policy, introduced by the occupation forces and modeled on the New Deal, had a tendency of the late 19th century populism i.e., decentralization and regionalism. The Anti-Monopoly Law was amended twice in the 1950s, but the rule of "per se illegal" of cartel was not renounced. In this way, the anti-monopoly act finally took root in Japan. The occupation forces prohibited armament industry and intended to restrict the capacity of the war-related industries. As the Cold War began, this policy changed. During the Korean War, the United States procured vast amount of munitions from Japan. The armament industry, rebuilt in 1952, was deemed as a key to the reconstruction of the Japanese industry. But this scheme failed to have results. To the Unites States' military forces, the Japanese armament indusury was merely a marginal supplyer. Since it was not given ample aide from the U.S., the Japanese armament industry lost opportunity to modernize itself and failed to get the international competitiveness.
