Features: The series "Foreign Economics and Contemporary Chinese Economy" consists of 8 monographs, covering topics such as East European and Russian economics, radical economics, comparative economics, development economics, Japanese economics, new institutional economics, Keynesian economics, and new liberal economics. Some of these works fill gaps or address rare areas in Chinese research. This book is one of them, primarily elaborating on the development of Marxist economics in Japan, Japan's economic growth mechanisms, Japan's economic internationalization, Japan's corporate system, and modern Japanese economic thought. It also conducts comparative studies of Japan's economic systems, summarizing their rationality and drawing lessons to promote the development of the domestic economy.
What constitutes Japanese economics or Japanese economic thought is a subjective matter. This book interprets Japanese economic theories or thoughts as the theoretical achievements with general significance that Japanese economists derive by applying their unique methodologies to study specific Japanese economic issues, based on Western and European economic thought.
According to the needs of China's economic reform and development, the book selects some important and valuable Japanese economic content that the authors believe should be introduced to Chinese readers for necessary analysis and explanation. Building on an evaluation of Japanese economic thought, it discusses the potential for (jièjiàn - drawing lessons) Japanese economic thought for the Chinese economics community and China's economic development.
