Adam Smith: International Perspectives
Adam Smith (1723-90) is well known as the author of The Wealth of Nations and as a champion of free enterprise but he also wrote on moral philosophy and lectured on rhetoric and jurisprudence. This collection reveals a new portrait of the well known economist, not as a simple-minded champion of free trade but as an interdisciplinary social scientist with a moral philosophy for the modern world. His legacy should not be restricted to economics and to the English-speaking world.
Western Economics in Japan
The opening of Japan to Western influence in the Meiji era is one of the most important subjects in Japanese Studies, and this text argues that it is central to an understanding of modern Japan. There were many dimensions to this transformation including the re-opening of trading and diplomatic links, but the opening of Japan to modern Western ideas was at least as important. No area had greater significance than economics. This set collects together some of the most important and influential economics texts from the age of the Japanese Enlightenment. The understanding of Western economics in Japan was founded on Japanese translations of these seminal books, which although they did not change the course of economic thinking had a marked impact on Japanese economic development.

Ricardo and the History of Japanese Economic Thought
David Ricardo’s theories were introduced in fragments in Japan after the Meiji restoration of 1868 and his work came into prominence late in comparison to other major thinkers figuring in the history of economic thought. The book seeks to analyse the studies in Japan from the year 1920 to the end of the 1930s – during the time before the outbreak of the Second World War, when even the study of classical economics became difficult. The book covers different aspects of his works and contains elements which may be interesting to foreign and even Japanese readers today without necessarily coming under the influence of Marx’s reading. It presents works on Ricardo that are at present, wholly unknown to the Ricardo scholars and more generally to the historians of economic thought outside Japan. This book is an essential read on the history of economic thought in Japan.
A Critical Bibliography of Adam Smith
This critical bibliography of Adam Smith takes as its starting point the Kress Library of Business and Economics’ 1939 catalogue of its Vanderblue Collection of Smithiana. Since the bicentenary of The Wealth of Nations in 1976, the rate of international publication markedly accelerated, significantly extending the scope of this bibliography beyond 1939. Its scope has been further enlarged via the inclusion of essays on the diffusion process while the inclusion of all works in the chronological main bibliography gives an overview of the scope of this process. The notes appended to the entries provide a running commentary to the gathering pace of publication and the entries are organised chronologically with systematic annotation throughout.
Adam Smith's Library
Adam Smith is considered the founding father of economics. Yet to form an accurate picture of the theoretical basis of his work, it is necessary to know what influenced him. This book is the most up-to-date and comprehensive guide to all the books which were in Adam Smith's library at the time of his death. An invaluable reference work, this book will be of enormous interest to all those interested in the genesis of early economic thought.
