In this paper, the author examines the contents of lectures given by A. C. Haddon, E. Westermarck, and Sydney Webb that Schumpeter attended at the London School of Eco-nomics (LSE) in 1907. This paper uses as references the syllabus of the LSE at that time and written works by the lecturers. Most research on the sources of Schumpeterʼs ideas on economic development and socioeconomics has been conducted based on discussions of Marxist economic thought, the German historical school, and American economists. Little attention has been accorded to the LSE lectures attended by Schumpeter. Consequently, essential parts of Schumpeterʼs history of economic thought have been ignored. This paper addresses that deficit. It has been established that Schumpeter attended lectures at the LSE on ethnology and sociology given by, respectively, Haddon and Westermarck. However, Schumpeter not-ed in a footnote in his posthumous History of Economic Analysis that he also attended Webbʼs lectures on “methods of social investigation.” The present author has previously demonstrated that the LSE lectures delivered by Haddon and Westermarck may have enabled Schumpeter to overcome outmoded ideas of “evolutionism” (which assumed autonomous development and unilineal developmental stages derived from the Enlightenment) and thoughts of “natural law.” Close examination of the lectures delivered at the LSE support the authorʼs previous hypothesis. Further, that examination reveals that Webbʼs lectures delivered in October 1907 could have exerted a defining impact on Schumpeterʼs thoughts on economics. For example, in Webbʼs lecture plans, such items as “The great man as a ferment” and “Possibility of predicting effects of a given social environment on average humans in the immediate future” can be found. Those lectures at the LSE include many key points related to Schumpeterʼs basic as-sumptions about dynamics and economic development. JEL classification numbers: B25, B31, Z13.

旧財閥のうち、安田財閥は、三井、三菱、住友と並んで四大財閥の一つに数えられるが、安田財閥は、傘下事業の大宗を銀行、保険などの金融関係が占めた点で他の財閥と大きく異なった。安田財閥は、総合財閥というよりも、むしろ、総合金融業と言うべき存在であり、安田財閥の持株会社であった安田保善社は、1997年に純粋持株会社が解禁される以前に我が国に唯一存在した金融持株会社であったと言える。安田保善社の経営は、時代により多少の強弱はあったものの、中央集権的であったことを特徴としている。中央集権体制を支えていたものは、①関係行社役員及び役職員の人事権確保 ②稟議・報告制度等に基づく強い関係行社管理 ③グループの一体感を高める諸施策にあったと考えられる。特に、中央集権体制を維持しつつ、一方でグループとしての求心力を高めるため、当時としては考えられる限りのグループ一体化策を実行しようとした硬軟織り交ぜた姿勢については、日本的経営という視点に立つ場合、極めて参考になる点が多い。
