日本近世城市的兴起及其经济影响

The Growth of Modern Cities in Japan and Its Economic Impact

明治维新前,在德川幕府统治下的近世日本,由于"兵农分离"政策的推行和商品货币经济的发展,出现了以从事工商业经济为主的城市。这些城市的兴起,促进了日本市场经济的进一步发展,并促使日本产生了早期资本主义经济的萌芽,为即将到来的重大社会变革奠定了物质基础。

Prior to the Meiji Reformation, under the rule of TokuGawa BaKufu, there appeared a few cities in Japan whose economic activities were focused on industries and trade. The growth of new cities was the result of the policy of ＂Soldier-Farmer Separation＂ and the development of the commodity money economy. The rise of these cities, in return, pushed the further growth of the market economy and put forth the bud of the early capitalism in Japan. It provided the material basis for the upcoming social revolution.
