Abstract It is well known that Joseph A. Schumpeter delivered several lectures during his visit to Japan in early 1931. However, it is much less known that he wrote a memorandum on the ongoing Great Depression to a Japanese friend, who translated it – or had it translated by someone else – into Japanese and published it in a periodical run by one of the most influential business associations in Japan. This article produces an annotated English translation of the Japanese version of the memorandum, as the original manuscript – presumably written in English, French, or German – is missing. We introduce it with some remarks about Schumpeter’s connection with Japan, his relations with his Japanese friend, and some features of the memorandum seen in the light of his commentaries on the Depression just before and during his sojourn. By doing so, we aim to make Schumpeter’s bibliography richer.

Abstract Geoff Harcourt had a distinguished academic career, principally in Adelaide and Cambridge. He was one of the world’s foremost post-Keynesian economists and an expert in capital theory. He was an all-rounder who wrote in many areas of economic theory and economic policy. His ‘horses for courses’ approach to economics saw him using different tools and styles to address different problems and audiences. He also wrote intellectual biographies of many of his fellow economists and contributed generously to the writing of his colleagues, offering advice and introducing authors to other scholars who could help them. He was a popular and respected teacher, as well as a strong activist and advocate on important social issues. Witty, warm, inspiring and sympathetic, he was a human being of outstanding quality.

Abstract This paper addresses the economic research conducted by Ernest Francis Penrose (1895–1984) in Nagoya, Japan, from 1925 to 1930. After graduating from Cambridge University, he relocated to Japan as a lecturer and began creating the first indices in Japanese history of the physical volume of production, the significance of which was only recognized in the world after the First World War. Penrose was a pioneer in his contribution to the development of quantitative analysis in Japan. His analysis also included practical critical remarks and significant perspectives on Japanese economic policy shortly before the war, although they had no actual influence on the Japanese government at the time. Utilizing his articles published during his stay in Japan, this study sheds light on his contributions, mostly unrecorded in the history of the development of economics in Japan.
本文论述了欧内斯特•弗朗西斯•彭罗斯(Ernest Francis Penrose, 1895-1984) 1925年至1930年在日本名古屋进行的经济研究。从剑桥大学毕业后,他以讲师的身份移居日本,并开始创建日本历史上第一批实物产量指数,其重要性直到第一次世界大战后才得到世界的认可。彭罗斯是日本定量分析发展的先驱。他的分析还包括对战前日本经济政策的实际批评和重要观点,尽管这些对当时的日本政府没有实际影响。本研究利用他在日本期间发表的文章,揭示了他的贡献,这些贡献大多未被记录在日本经济发展史上。

Abstract To many people in the 1920s and 1930s, conventional economics had failed with socialists arguing for a completely new system such as the Douglas Social Credit Movement established by Major C. H. Douglas in the mid-1920s. The announcement that Douglas would be visiting Adelaide, South Australia in 1934, led to supporters and detractors of the social credit movement arguing their case via contributions to newspapers; views diverse in quality and reflecting the uncertain state of thinking at the time. While Douglas had made headway in New Zealand, including an invitation to appear before a government committee, in Australia, and particularly in South Australia, Douglas’ theories, although supported by a range of people, appeared less well understood with his supporters struggling to explain the core ideas of the Douglas Social Credit Movement. This may be a reason for Douglas’ less than favourable comment about the Social Credit Movement in South Australia.
对于20世纪20年代和30年代的许多人来说,传统经济学已经失败了,因为社会主义者主张建立一个全新的体系,比如20世纪20年代中期由道格拉斯少校(Major C. H. Douglas)建立的道格拉斯社会信用运动(Douglas Social Credit Movement)。道格拉斯将于1934年访问南澳大利亚的阿德莱德的消息,导致社会信用运动的支持者和批评者通过向报纸投稿来争论他们的观点;观点质量各异,反映了当时思想的不确定状态。虽然道格拉斯在新西兰取得了进展,包括应邀出席一个政府委员会的会议,但在澳大利亚,尤其是在南澳大利亚,道格拉斯的理论虽然得到了一系列人的支持,但由于他的支持者努力解释道格拉斯社会信用运动的核心思想,人们似乎不太理解他的理论。这可能是道格拉斯对南澳大利亚的社会信用运动不太有利的评论的一个原因。

Abstract This interview forms a partial biography of Ted Kolsen, who migrated to Australia after the Second World War. It is an oral history of a boy sent from Berlin to England to escape the Nazis. It touches on his time in a Barnardo orphanage, his military service in postwar Germany, his work in Australia as a toolmaker, his undergraduate study, his time at the LSE doing a PhD, his work on transport economics, his ascent to a chair at the University of Queensland, his appointment to the Interstate Commission to report to the Commonwealth government on transport policy, and his other advisory positions. The interview illuminates both postwar social history and how economists strive to apply theory to complex practical problems.
