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.","PeriodicalId":143586,"journal":{"name":"History of Economics Review","volume":"11 7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129304414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.","PeriodicalId":143586,"journal":{"name":"History of Economics Review","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128820489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.","PeriodicalId":143586,"journal":{"name":"History of Economics Review","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130683322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
