There are several groups of scholars, both non-Japanese and Japanese, pursuing historical studies of Japanese economic thought. There have been significant societal activities such as nationwide meetings organized by the Society for the History of Japanese Economic Thought and publications both in English and in Japanese on the history of Japanese economic thought by the Japanese Society for the History of Economic Thought. Frequently discussed topics are the economic ideas in the closeddoor period, Japanese enlightenment and modernization, the introduction of Western economics into Japan, Japanese contributions to economics, and the internationalization of economics. Japan has a rich history of economic thought cultivated in Japan from the Tokugawa period to the present. Unfortunately the research results are scattered in various academic journals, commercial magazines, and university organs. Therefore, books and monographs are a powerful medium in this field. The creation of a single forum, ideally electronic, for scholarly communication is most urgently needed in order to inform the general population, including economists, of the serious research results regarding this subject. One of the important goals that Japanese scholars should attempt is to produce research results in English even if they lose something in translation.

The ideas of Charles Fourier were imported into 1840's America by Albert Brisbane. Fourier's ideas, some of which seemed eccentric and extravagant to Brisbane, were abridged and adapted to the context of American society. Brisbane claimed that the building of a new community “Association” would be the best solution to all social problems of that time. In his plan, about 1800 people would live together cooperatively in a labor system called “attractive industry” which promised high productivity. An “Association” would be a community in which each member would hold stock certificates as personal property.In the Jacksonian era, chartered business corporations were attacked for their privileges. However, in the course of deliberating the general incorporation act some economists including Henry Carey, argued in their favor. They thought that business corporations supported by small shareholders would provide an oppotunity for poor people to become independent and reasonably wealthy.Brisbane argued that his Association was based on the operating style of current business corporations. In addition, he pointed out that this shared property system would harmonize diverse interests of members, interests which had up until then been the source of ruinous conflicts.Brisbane presented his Associaton, which was based on a joint stock property system originally found in the business world, as the best means of social reform.

This paper deals with A. C. Pigou's economic thought before the World War I, especially in relation to Liberal Reform (1906-11). Pigou was very interested in the Royal Commission on the Poor Law and Relief of Distress. He submitted “Memorandum on some Economic Aspects and Effects of Poor Law Relief” to the Royal Commission in 1907. In this “Memorandum”, we can distinguish his two welfare criteria: the size and distribution of the national dividend. His motives to write Wealth and Welfare (1912) could be mainly found in those years.The National Insurance Act (1911) was one of the most epoch-making laws during this period. Pigou examined this institution in his book Wealth and Welfare because labour problems, including destitution and unemployment, were an urgent economic theme for him and his contemporaries. In Unemployment (1913) he considered that not only public works as means for relieving unemployment among the poor, but also insurance and National-Minimum were necessary. Liberal Reform was an essential background of Pigou's welfare economics.

This paper studies Roy Harrod's philosophical work, Foundations of Inductive Logic (1956). As compared to his economic theory, his philosophical work (and its relation to his economic theory) has not drawn much attention so far. This paper attempts to fill this gap, and demonstrates the significance of the fact that Harrod was a philosopher as well as an economist. In particular, this paper reviews Harrod's argument by illustrating the main differences in Harrod's empiricist notions of probability and induction, and Keynes' rationalist notion of them (A Treatise on Probability, 1921). Then it demonstrates how these differences in their understanding of probability and induction are reflected in their different approaches to economics.

The Annals of the Japanese Society for the History of Economic Thought has been issued annually since 1963, but with the first year of the 21st century it has changed to a biannual bulletin. Furthermore, we newly constituted the international advisory board for the editorial committee, and appointed Mark Blaug, A. W. Coats, Samuel Hollander, Laurence S. Moss, Bertram Schefold, Warren Samuels, and John Vint as our advisers. With these changes, our society will continue its efforts towards furthering the study of the history of economic thought.

The popular belief that Adam Smith was the first founder of political economy is correct in part. He is certainly an ancestor of classical, neo-classical, and Marxist economics. We, nevertheless, assert that Sir James Steuart is an alternative to Smith, and thus is one of the first political economists. He created the primitive equilibrium theory and a system of monetary theory. Although Steuart and Smith formed contrasting economics, they constituted a common system of political economy in relation to political and social affairs. In this, they were the institutional economists. We should in particular evaluate this aspect of Principles' monetary theory.

The study of the Scottish Enlightenment began in the west in the 1960s. One of the most influential works produced in this field was Wealth and Virtue (1983), which has been read with great interest in Japan. Forbes and Pocock are two great masters in this field of study, but the former is less influential due to his restricted interest than the latter whose interests lie in various topics and studies such as Civic Humanism, British Historiography, and the history of political thought. Under their influence, the natural law tradition and civic humanist ideas and their interrelation have been closely studied by many scholars, and their trends and characteristics are reviewed in this essay, whose aim is to reconsider the possibility of the Scottish Enlightenment for the formation of the political economy. Therefore, by viewing many works concerning the Scottish Enlightenment, the formation of Britishness, the British Nation, the British Empire, and many other topics in the fields of history and the history of ideas, this paper reconsiders some new possibilities in the field of History of Political Economy which will be found out by responding to such many new studies.

The viewpoint that the ideas described The Wealth of Nations is consistent with the labor theory of value has been rejected by all the schools of economics except for a few Japanese in the 1940's, who called Smith's thought a civil society idea. Afterwards, Y. Uchida and N. Kobayashi disputed this idea, but overlooked the point that Smith's commercial society was devoid of capital-stock. If this is the case, his labor theory of value in that society can be taken as an abstraction from his capitalist society. All the studies of his value theory as well as Marx's have missed this. Smith's added-value theory is applied to the theory of productive labor and the employment of capital, and so his criticism of the mercantile system.Theory of Moral Sentiments is taken not only as a passion theory but as an action theory. Although we can see the relation between both works, the overseas Adam Smith Rennaissance since 1976 disregards these viewpoints. But lately D. Winch and J. M. Buchanan have noted Smith's productive labor, thus his value theory may be reestimated, at which time the actual Adam Smith Rennaissance will start. In the case of Japanese studies on Smith, the civil society idea has long been accepted, but now its revision is needed because for the above reasons.

Future studies on Ricardo will clarify Ricardian politics as Milgate-Simson has done. Ricardo was not only an eminent economist but also a creative political scientist who advocated democracy on the basis of an analysis of class society. Other themes of studies in Ricardo will be to interpret his economic theory consistent with ‘labor value’ and ‘cost of production’ which are combined in Ricardo's writings. The key to the solution of this problem will be an accurate understanding of Ricardo's money theory.

This essay addresses what will be studied in regard to J. S. Mill within coming ten years, and the research methods employed. For the present, Mill students are strongly recommended to compare works on Mill by two historians, S. Hollander and S. Mawatari (The Economics of J. S. Mill, only in Japanese), and to draw suggestions regarding the topics and methods to be followed.Hollander's position as a positivist historian is seriously damaged by his adherence to the continuity theorem, continuity from Ricardo to Mill, and continuity from classical to neo-classical economics. The inverse relation of wages and profit via price-mechanism, even if Ricardo had, was not what Mill succeeded from Ricardo. Mill insisted on the inverse relation in real terms. As a result, he paradoxically developed an almost complete theory of the partial equilibrium price-mechanism. Hollander's discussions regarding methodology, social philosophy and economic policies are somewhat too narrow.It follows that there will be four fruitful research topics: First, J. S. Mill's philosophy of science; second, value and distribution in Ricardo and Mill; third, J. S. Mill's theory on the state and the market, and fourth, Mill's position in the history of Utilitarianism from Hume to Sidgwick. The last area is that which I am most interested in.

We have seen salutary advances in the historico-theoretical study of Institutional Economics in the last decade. The focal point seems to have shifted from Veblen to Commons, reflecting the florescence of so-called New Institutional Economics that puts stress on the spontaneous growth of social order guided by the free will of individual. It is, indeed, a fact that Commons's institutionalism that emphasizes the role of volitional will and artificial selection has close links with New Institutional Economics (Rutherford, 1994). Ramstad (1990; 1995) construes the concept of “working rules” as the connecting and binding element in the multiplicative theory of Commons. Biddle (1990) alleges that Commons developed an evolutionary theory of the results of intended conduct, though he did not overlook the unintended results of conduct. These two interpretations are persuasive, but certain inevitable questions might come to mind: Are the concepts of working rules too vague and elastic to use for objective analysis?: Is it possible to maintain logical consistency between the logic of the outcome of the intended conduct and the logic of unintended outcome?A new interpretation of Veblen's theory of evolution is presented by Taka (1991; 1996). Although the instinct of workmanship (idle curiosity) leads autonomously to the development of technology, the prevailing institutions of the society, that is, the norms of conduct or the standards of esteem, are always the consequences of emulation. The order of development or expansion is as follows: instinct of workmanship→exploit (pro wess)→trophy→private property→conspicuous consumption and leisure. Since these norms of conduct have been historically accumulated in strata like the twisted ladder of a gene, people forced to adapt to the new circumstances often choose to retard or retrogress to the inherited and accustomed ways of thinking, that is, old fashioned customs and institutions. Veblen's theory of evolution consists of evolution and retrogression.Generally speaking, in order to reinterpret critical or heterodox economic thoughts such as Institutionalism, we must also reinterpret American orthodox, neo-classical thought at the same time. Mehring (1997), Shute (1997) and Yonay (1998) make, in this sense, a valuable contribution to the study of Institutional Economics.
