12、 the themes of this paper can be summarized as follows:</p><p>　　In the course of Japan's rapid growth it has ended up creating a newindustrial dualism consisting of a super-efficient "outer-focused

13、 (OF)" sector (symbolized by the Lexus) and an inefficient, but unemployment-alleviating and job-coddling, "inner-focused (IF)" sector (represented by the olive tree).</p><p>　　The real cause

14、of Japan's economic imbroglio is the entrenchment of parochial political interests (vultures) in the zombie-haunted industries in the IF sector (in other words, the olive grove was taken over by vultures).</p>

15、<p>　　The current predicament is a path-dependent outcome of the immediate postwar policies of the Occupation authorities and Japan's subsequent catch-up growth and income distribution measures, an outcome that

16、 is much more strongly molded institutionally than anything else.</p><p>　　Dual Industrial Structure</p><p>　　Japan was once successful in nurturing dynamic comparative advantages and climbing u
