Books in the Economic History of Japan 1660-1990 series

This multi-volume series covers the whole of modern Japanese economic history. It encompasses both the institutional aspects of Japanese economic development and the results of research to place the key moments of Japanese economic history in a more general context.

This multi-volume series on modern Japanese economic history has been abridged and rewritten for a non-Japanese readership. 'The Emergence of Economic Society in Japan, 1600-1870' spans the era when a discernible consumer population begins to form within cities, to the start of rapid industrialization.
