This text sets out to describe the emergence of economics in the
period of Japanese Enlightenment, or the first two decades of the
Meiji era. At this time, there was general agreement for the need
to modernize the country by abolishing all remaining feudalism, and
opening up to Western economic thought. The author examines the
main characteristics of economic thought at this time, in
particular, the predominance of nationalism among both proponents
of protectionism and free-trade.
This text examines the work of the 8th Earl of Lauderdale, James
Maitland, and his contribution to economic thought. The study
concentrates on the publication of "Lauderdale's Notes on Adam
Smith's Wealth of Nations". It is reproduced from the hand-written
notes and marginalia which appear in Lauderdale's own edition of
the "Wealth of Nations" which in now housed in the Tokyo Keizai
University Library. The notes are reproduced here along with the
relevant passages from "The Wealth of Nations" to which they refer.
First Published in 1995. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.
By throwing light on economic thought in the period of the Japanese
Enlightenment, this book will make clear what led to the
institutionalization of business and economic education, the birth
of the pioneer business enterprise and of serious economic
journalism and the reasons behind the success of Japanese economic
development.
Adam Smith (1723-90) is well known as the author of The Wealth of
Nations and as a champion of free enterprise but he also wrote on
moral philosophy and lectured on rhetoric and jurisprudence. This
collection reveals a new portrait of the well known economist, not
as a simple-minded champion of free trade but as an
interdisciplinary social scientist with a moral philosophy for the
modern world. His legacy should not be restricted to economics and
to the English-speaking world.
