Special Corporations: Insatiable

Chapter 11 in Japan Inc. on the Brink, 2015, pp 177-195 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract When SCAP permitted the formation of a public corporation to support the development of the match industry, representatives, fearing tight controls over their sector, issued a petition on August 10, 1947 to SCAP in protest. The protest claimed that the corporation was being formed not to support the industry but to provide jobs for bureaucrats. SCAP rejected the petition because it assumed that the industry did not want ministerial controls. Later reflecting on its decision, SCAP believed that public corporations could resuscitate Japan’s war-time system of autocratic controls.
