Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. Scholarly discussions on
economic development in history, specifically those linked to
industrialization or modern economic growth, have paid great
attention to the formation and development of the market economy as
a set of institutions able to augment people's welfare. The role of
specific nonmarket practices for promoting the economic development
and welfare has been a distinct concern, typically involving
discussion of the state's economic policies. How have societies
tackled those issues that the market did not? To what extent did
those solutions reflect the structure of an economy? Public Goods
Provision in the Early Modern Economy explores these questions by
investigating efforts made for the provision of "public goods" in
early modern economies from the perspective of Japanese
socioeconomic history during Tokugawa era (1603-1868), and by
comparing those cases with others from Europe and China's economic
history. The contributors focus on three areas of inquiry-early
modern era welfare policies for the poor, infrastructure, and
forest management-to provide both a unique perspective on Japanese
public finance at local levels and a vantage point outside of
Europe to encourage a more global view of early modern political
economies that shaped subsequent modern transformations.
