Hanes traces the roots of social progressivism in prewar Japan. Seki, trained as a political economist in the late 1890's, when Japan was focused single-mindedly on "increasing industrial production," distinguished himself early on as a people-centered, rather than a state-centered, national economist. After three years of advanced study in Europe at the turn of the century, during which he engaged Marxism and later steeped himself in the exciting new field of social economics, Seki was transformed into a progressive. The social reformism of Seki and others had its roots in a transnational fellowship of progressives who shared the belief that civilized nations should be able to forge a middle path between capitalism and socialism. Hanes's sweeping study permits us not only to weave social progressivism into the modern Japanese historical narrative but also to reconceive it as a truly transnational movement whose impact was felt across the Pacific as well as the Atlantic. 410 0$aTwentieth-century Japan. 606 $aEconomists$zJapan$vBiography 606 $aMayors$zJapan$vBiography 607 $aOsaka (Japan)$xEconomic conditions 607 $aJapan$xEconomic conditions$y1918-1945 615 0$aEconomists 615 0$aMayors 676 $a307.1/26/092 676 $aB 700 $aHanes$b Jeffrey E.$f1950-$01628054 701 $aSeki$b Hajime$f1873-1935.$01628055 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814608403321 996 $aThe city as subject$93964935 997 $aUNINA
