Seeking to overturn the Tokugawa samurai-dominated political economy after the Meiji Restoration, Shibusawa was a pioneer in introducing joint-stock corporations to Japan as institutions of economic development. As the entrepreneurial head of Tokyo's Dai-Ichi Bank, he helped launch modern enterprises in such diverse industries as banking, shipping, textiles, paper, beer, and railroads. Believing businesses should be both successful and serve the national interest, Shibusawa regularly cautioned against the pursuit of profit alone. He insisted instead on the 'unity of morality and economy' following business ethics derived from the Confucian Analects. A top leader in Japan's business community for decades, Shibusawa contributed to founding the Tokyo Stock Exchange, the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce, and numerous educational and philanthropic organizations to promote his vision of Confucian capitalism. This volume marks an important contribution to the international debate on the extent to which capitalist enterprises have a responsibility to serve and benefit the societies in which they do business. Shibusawa's story demonstrates that business, government, trade associations, and educational institutions all have valuable roles to play in establishing a political economy that is both productive and humane."--$$cProvided by publisher. 000890146 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed July 25, 2018). 000890146 60010 $$aShibusawa, Eiichi,$$d1840-1931. 000890146 650_0 $$aCapitalists and financiers$$zJapan$$vBiography. 000890146 650_0 $$aConfucian ethics$$xEconomic aspects. 000890146 77608 $$iPrint version $$z3319763717$$z9783319763712$$w(OCoLC)1020607913 000890146 830_0 $$aPalgrave studies in economic history. 000890146 852__ $$bebk 000890146 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-76372-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000890146 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:890146$$pGLOBAL_SET 000890146 980__ $$aEBOOK 000890146 980__ $$aBIB 000890146 982__ $$aEbook 000890146 983__ $$aOnline 000890146 994__ $$a92$$bISE
