Thirty years have passed since World War II and Japanese capitalism at present has had to make a dramatic shift from a rapid growth period to a stagnation period. During the rapid growth period big business invested heavily on equipment to meet demand. At the same time monopolistic industries ran wild and today, when Japan is facing its most serious depression large firms are under fire and are faced with a need to re-examine their social responsibility.<BR>Which it may be said that the present crisis was brought about by the abnormal growth of big industry under the recent government and political guidance, on the other hand the causes can also be seen in the business activities since the Meiji Era. Some of the harmful practices continue to this day. The evidence of this can be seen in the recent Lockeed scandal in which individual influence peddlars spanning politics and business played a regretful part. This is a continuation from the Meiji Era. Also, the recent industrial pollution can be traced to business practices initiated in the Meiji Era and continued at present. Thus, big business at present is facing a trial and faces a historical test for it present social evils which had roots in the Meiji Era.<BR>I will therefore try to look into the government business ties in this article.
