Features: This book conducts an in-depth and systematic study and examination of the role and impact of the fiscal policies during the late Edo period and early Meiji era. It points out that Japan's fiscal policies during the late Edo period and early Meiji era underwent a qualitative transformation from feudal finance to modern capitalist finance. This qualitatively transformed fiscal policy played an indispensable role in further dismantling and eliminating the feudal rule of the Bakufu and its remnants, as well as in powerfully promoting the formation and development of capitalism during Japan's social transition from feudalism to modern capitalism.
