A Japanese Approach to Political Economy: Unoist Variations [Hardcover]

Kozo Uno influenced a whole generation of marxian political economists in post World War II Japan. Thomas Sekine worked closely with Uno in Japan and later came to York University in Toronto, where he introduced Uno's ideas to Canadian scholars. Sekine has significantly enlarged and refined Uno's work, and in the process has influenced scholars in both Japan and Canada. This anthology is a collection of essays in marxian political economy by scholars who have been influenced by Sekine's particular appropriation of Uno's ideas.Introduction; J.Bell & R.Albritton - PART 1: THE THEORY OF A PURELY CAPITALIST SOCIETY - An Uno School Seminar on the Theory of Value; T.Sekine - The Necessity of the Law of Value, Its Demonstration and Significance; T.Sekine - The Demonstration of the Law of Value and the Uno-Sekine Approach; S.Ishibashi - The Theory of Economic Crises: An Unoist Approach; T.Hoshino - The Social Contexts of Money Uses; M.Maruyama - PART 2: PHILOSOPHICAL ECONOMICS - Dialectics and Economic Theory; J.Bell - Postmodern Sediments and the Logic of Capital; R.Terada - Theorizing the Realm of Consumption in Marxian Political88 Economy; R.Albritton - A Very Nearly Capitalist Society; C.Duncan - RegulationEE Theory: A Critique; R.Albritton - Index
