It was only after the Meiji Restoration in the mid-nineteenth century that various kinds of economic thought, including that of Ricardo, came to disseminate in Japan. To know such a particular historical process may be instrumental in understanding the actual state of Ricardo studies in Japan. This chapter attempts to introduce to foreign readers how Ricardo’s economic thought became known, read and studied during the long period of the last one and a half centuries. It describes how Ricardo was introduced in the late nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century Japan (Sect. 11.2), illustrates the development of Japanese Ricardo studies during the interwar period (Sect. 11.3) and examines the controversial interpretations of Ricardo’s theories that have been advanced from 1945 to the present (Sect. 11.4). It focuses on several topics such as the theories of value, rent, wage, money and finance. |
