Opis

Economics, in the modern sense of the word, was introduced into Japan in the second half of the 19th century. However, Japanese thinkers had already developed, during the 17th and 18th centuries, a variety of approaches to issues such as the causes of inflation, the value of trade, and the role of the state in economic activity.
