日本德川幕府末期的重商思想

Mercantilism in Late Tokugawa Shogunate in Japan

德川幕府末期,日本被西方列强打开了国门,民族危机和社会危机空前严重。这一时期的日本思想家们,初步接触了近代西方的经济思想,提倡改变传统的经济制度,学习西方国家的商业体制和贸易政策。这些重商观点在当时部分付诸了实践,推动了近代日本社会经济的转型。

In late Tokugawa Shogunate period, Japan was forced to open the country by the western powers, both national crisis and social crisis were unprecedentedly grave. During that period, Japanese ideologists have come up with a suggestion which base on the modern Western economic theories. In this suggestion, Japan had to change its traditional economic system, to learn both the market system and the trading policies from the western countries. Some opinions of mercantilism were put into practice in certain circumstances at that time, which facilitated the modern Japanese socioeconomic transformation.
