March 22, 2022: Shibusawa Eiichi's Legacy and Japan “New Capitalism"
Can capitalism be good for all? Prime Minister Kishida Fumio has announced a plan to ensure just that for Japan, foreseeing a "New Capitalism” that spurs economic growth while building social equality and equity. By increasing the metabolism of the economy and (re)introducing redistribution, Japan hopes that growth in commerce will achieve a "triple win” for business, people, and the economy and society overall. One of the most famous entrepreneurs in Japanese history, Shibusawa Eiichi, had exactly this vision some 100 years ago. But can it be fulfilled in the 21st century? What kind of institution-building and regulatory change will it require, and can it survive amid global competition? Join us as we look at this challenge from the perspectives of political science, economics, and business.
