Abstract

In this paper, we have argued how research and education in economics should be conducted under the current circumstances where the “crisis of capitalism” is being referred to in mainstream media. Though major research trends in mainstream economics are characterized by the development of piece-meal social engineering in recent days, research on an overarching theory of the capitalist economy and its educational dissemination should be still highly desired, to build an intellectual infrastructure for deliberative democratic decision-making by the public. Given this basic standpoint, we have discussed the importance of the issue of how to discuss capital from a bird’s eye view of the capitalist economy.

危机时期的总体经济理论和经济学教育

摘要本文论证了在当前主流媒体纷纷提及 "资本主义危机 "的情况下，应如何开展经济学研究与教育。尽管近来主流经济学的主要研究趋势是发展零敲碎打的社会工程学，但我们仍然非常希望开展关于资本主义经济的总体理论的研究及其教育传播，以便为公众的审议性民主决策建立知识基础设施。基于这一基本立场，我们讨论了如何从资本主义经济的鸟瞰视角讨论资本问题的重要性。

期刊介绍： The Evolutionary and Institutional Economics Review (EIER) is issued by the Japan Association for Evolutionary Economics to provide an international forum for new theoretical and empirical approaches to evolutionary and institutional economics. EIER, free from the view of equilibrium economics and methodological individualism, should face the diversity of human behavior and dynamic transformation of institutions. In EIER, “economics” is used in its broadest sense. It covers areas from the classic research in economic history, economic thought, economic theory, and management science to emerging research fields such as economic sociology, bio-economics, evolutionary game theory, agent-based modeling, complex systems study, econo-physics, experimental economics, and so on. EIER follows the belief that a truly interdisciplinary discussion is needed to propel the investigation in the dynamic process of socio-economic change where institutions as emergent outcomes of human actions do matter. Although EIER is an official journal of the Japan Association for Evolutionary Economics, it welcomes non-members'' contributions from all parts of the world. All the contributions are refereed under strict scientific criteria, although EIER does not apply monolithic formalistic measure to them. Evolution goes hand in hand with diversities; this is also the spirit of EIER. Focus areas of the Review (not exhaustive): - Foundations of institutional and evolutionary economics - Criticism of mainstream views in the social sciences - Knowledge and learning in socio-economic life - Development and innovation of technologies - Transformation of industrial organizations and economic systems - Experimental studies in economics - Agent-based modeling of socio-economic systems - Evolution of the governance structure of firms and other organizations - Comparison of dynamically changing institutions of the world - Policy proposals in the transformational process of economic life
