Research on the French Enlightenment has undergone extensive change at the end of the 20th century. The most prominent research approach after World War II, which focused on the Enlightenment's role in the formation of the modern views of society and as a preliminary stage in thought leading up to the French Revolution, has almost disappeared. Freed from traditional methods, research has expanded into many different forms to actress the meaning of issues such as “savage and civilisation”, “views of Asia”, “gender”, “family”, and the “unconscious domain”. The most distinctive feature of this shift is its focus on the Renaissance of Liberalism in the French Enlightenment. In the history of the economic thought, the French line of Liberal economics originating with Boisguilbert has become the mainstream in Enlightenment economic thought. In the new century, the idea of liberty in the French Enlightenment will also continue to play a leading role. Moreover, the notion of the public sphere, which seems to pose the most difficult problem for liberalism, deserves examination. The various other non-liberal schools of thought, especially that of Rousseau, will be the subject of new studies in light of regenerated liberalism.

Marx-studies have brought about significant outcomes in spite of the collapse of the Soviet regime. The history of the extreme controversies following Marx's death reveals the essence of Marxian economics. Marx-lexicons recently published evaluate Marx in the light of the 19th century background and the 21st century problematic background. Following W. Hiromatsu's pioneering critical edition in which he condemns Adoratskij's as a fake, texts of Marx-Engels' German Ideology are reedited in new publications. Marx's theory of disposable time finds its actuality in the signs of post-capitalist society in which people want to utilize free time in realization of social causes regarding ecology, gender, minority and communal activity, etc. Marx's theory of history sees developing countries as articulating elements of a capitalist mode of production through the world system and coming to face the same social needs as industrialized countries.

A mere chronological description or an exegesis of past major economists does not constitute the history of economics as a discipline of social science. Inspired by a provocative claim of Kozo Sugimura, I have been concerned with the philosophical foundations of the history of economics. Social science observes social reality and constructs theory, which, in turn, becomes an object of observation. Just as a social study, whether historical or theoretical, focuses on social reality and attempts to make a subjective construction of the reality, so a study of theories is merely a subjective construction of those theories because they are a part of social reality. An approach to the history of economics, whether an interpretation or a critique, is also either historical or theoretical, i. e., it is an historical or rational reconstruction of economic thought. In my view, just as economic theory comprises economic statics, economic dynamics, and economic sociology, so metatheory, which is a theory about theory, consists of the philosophy of science, the history of science, and the sociology of science. Thus the structures of theory and metatheory are parallel in the sense that in social science both society and the mind are analyzed at three levels: the static, the dynamic, and the social. Actually based on an examination of the work of Joseph Schumpeter, I have explored a metatheoretical perspective of social science and called this conception of social science a two-structure approach to the mind and society.

The purpose of this paper is to reconsider the contribution of Montagu Collet Norman (1871-1950) in comparison with that of John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946). Norman, Governor of the Bank of England (1920-1994), was one of the key figures responsible for the monetary and industrial policies in interwar Britain.There exist two sharply contrasting interpretations of Norman's work. The first interpretation is represented by Pollard [1922], who criticized Norman for implementing “the Designed Deflationary Policy.” The second can be found in Clay [1957] and Sayers [1976], who appreciated Norman's promotion of “Rationalization in Industry.” Of those in the second camp, Tanaka [1976] in particular characterized Norman's actual intention as “the Dis-deflationary Policy, ” i. e., as a policy intended to avoid further deflationary effects derived from the previous high bank rate.In this paper, I concluded, when reading and reconstructing Norman's and Keynes's letters, memoranda, and other evidence for the Macmillan Committee (1930), that neither of these two understandings of Norman is appropriate. In the present work I introduce a new label for Norman's work: “the Dogma of Independence between Depression and Monetary Policy.”Finally, upon rethinking the motives and results of the monetary and industrial policies of the 1920s in comparison with Keynes's ideas, I conclude that an understanding of Norman's “innovative contribution” as fairly restricted would be the most appropriate.

In Marshall's work, the evolutionism is one of the most important components of his system of thought. This view was formed in his psychological study, which was the earliest one in his academic life. His conclusion is that, in the psychological aspect of man, mental action consists of self-consciousness plus mechanical agents; the existence of self-consciousness is an unknowable phenomenon by human experience, but the forms of self-consciousness have evolutioned in correlation with the evolution of mechanical agents. We find especially in this paper, the following three points. First, Marshall's view of evolutionism is very closely like that of H. Spencer, who established his system of philosophy and science in Victorian England. Secondly, in expressing his view on it Marshall attacked the philosophy of consciousness, which maintained that self-consciousness is forever. Thirdly, Marshall came to distinguish self-consciousness from soul through the reading of J. Grote's work ‘Exploratio Philosophica’ (1865).

This paper examines how the economics of Marshall was pushed out of the mainstream of economics after his death.We firstly try to comfirm that the compatibility problem between competition and increasing returns was the main concern of Marshall from the early days of his career up to his Principles. Three new analytical tools he introduced into the Principles were intended to answer this problem. These are the distinction between internal and external economics, the period analysis, and the representative firm. The vision of the market as an organic system, we contend, is the key to understanding these three tools.Because economists at the early stage of institutionalization of the profession were eager to secure reliable analytical methods, the assessment of the economics of Marshall centered around the consistency of his analytical tools with the partial equilibrium method. Consequently, not enough attention was paid to the vision underlying his analytical tools. The same logic explains the gradual displacement of partial equilibrium method by general equilibrium method which started shortly after the assessment of Marshall by the Cambridge economists during the 1930s.

In Japan, during its era of Westernization from the mid-nineteenth century, political economy was introduced by way of a link in the chain of reception of Western enlightenment thought, which was characterized by its confidence in human reason and social progress. Afterwards, in line with national policy, political economy was rapidly institutionalized in Japan's higher education. Political economy was required to play a part in the authoritarian national order system. However, the vein of political economy as a component of enlightenment thought had never been eliminated. Such a political economy was observed in the non-main currents, beyond the so-called enlightenment period.This essay provides some examples from the latter half of the Meiji era to the Taisho era. Taguchi Ukichi and Keizaigaku Kyokai, Toda Kaichi and “Kyoto Keizaigaku”, and Takano Iwasaburo and Ohara Shakaimondai Kenkyujo, Osaka Rodo Gakko are all discussed from the viewpoint of the formation of scholars' groups. These scholars' groups spared no pains to emancipate political economy from the teachings of national policy and to locate it instead in civil life.

Banto Yamagata (1748-1821), a privileged Osaka merchant, spent his life during the period in which the Tokugawa regime entered a total structural crisis. As a rare rationalist who acquired universal reasoning from Confucian ideas, he proposed a system of economic thought (“keisei ron”) intended to promote a modern revival of the Confucian ideal politics “Jinsei” to overcome the crisis.He advanced a plan for an ideal Physiocratic peaceful state based on the principle of self-sufficiency (“jisan-jisoku”), challenging the currently dominant ideology of the mercantilist wealth-state, while excessively idealizing the existing order. He rationally grasped Japan's backwardness as compared to the mercantilist Western countries, and was seriously concerned that the mercantilist view of the national interest, which promoted outward expansion, would accelerate the external and internal crises.Thus we can see in his thinking, which emerged in the process of Japan's modernization, the possibility of rational Confucian economic thought.

Economics today is confronted with great difficulties as it attempts to theoretically treat environmental concerns and many other serious problems. This situation, in my view, has been brought about partly by the way of thinking that confines economics largely to the analysis of the price mechanisms of goods in so far as they find their way into the market. On the contrary, the conception of “moral economy” as formulated by E. P. Thompson recognises that many important facets of the life of people in a society exist outside the market. Through research into historical sources of the food riots in eighteenth century England, he found that there existed a traditional and customary right to subsistence among the labouring poor. These poor repeatedly rioted against increases in corn and bread prices in times of dearth, selling them at prices they set themselves. In light of this history, Thompson severely criticised Adam Smith's theory of free trade in the corn market as victimizing the labouring poor, and hence he criticised Smith's political economy as a whole. However, despite his correctness in emphasising the necessity for remedies to scarcity among the poor, he seems to have misunderstood the character and nature of political economy in general. Political economy from Smith to J. S. Mill and economics even after the 1870s sought to remedy the poverty of the labouring poor as a subject and to reconcile their rights to subsistence with the right of property.
