American Populism and Greenbackism

自2003年《科学研究补助计划》(C)(2)以来，我一直致力于澄清美国民粹主义财政政策的历史渊源。这项研究的结果如下：首先，在一篇名为《民粹主义与绿背主义》的文章中，我聚焦于美元主义之父爱德华·凯洛格，以调查他的安全基金思想，即民粹主义者所谓的次金库计划的起源。第二，在一篇名为《布鲁克斯·亚当斯的扩张主义》的文章中，我提到了布鲁克斯·亚当斯，他是世纪之交美国扩张主义最有影响力的思想家之一。在总结这篇文章时，我已经指出，他的扩张主义是当时金融争论的副产品，焦点是美元主义和金本位。《美国人民的钱》(《文化边缘地带和西方历史中的边缘地位》，田中启洋教授担任首席研究员)我提出了一个观点，通过建议我们可以对重要人物或组织的金融思想和社会运动进行有前途的研究，阐明爱德华·凯洛格的原始想法是如何流入1892年民粹主义者的奥马哈政纲的，这些人或组织包括亚历山大·坎贝尔、亨利·凯里、美元工党、劳工骑士、格兰杰和农民联盟。而且，关注从1870年末开始的与美元主义平行的自由白银运动，我被说服说，我们可以抓住自然国家观念的一个重要潜流，这有望解决当时美国人民面临的社会问题。最后，我利用我在这一研究过程中获得的知识和见解，写了几本书的评论，如美国文化史：阅读历史资源。S.Kamei和K.Suzuki。

I have been working to clarify the historical origin of American Populism's financial planks since 2003 on Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C)(2).The results of this research are as follows;First, in an article, "Populism and Greenbackism," I focused on Edward Kellogg, the father of greenbackism, to investigate his idea of Safely Fund, so-called origin of sub-treasury plan of Populists. I have found that his idea was much more broader and sophisticated than Populists'.Second, in an article, "Brooks Adams' Expansionism," I picked up Brooks Adams, one of the most influential ideologues of American expansionism at the turn of the century. In concluding this article, I have pointed out that his expansionism was by-product of financial controversy at that time focusing greenbackism versus gold standard.Third, in a report titled "American Populism and Greenbackism; American People's Money" (in Cultural Borderland and Marginality in Western History edited by Professor Kikuyo Tanaka as a head investigator) I have presented a perspective which will clarify the way Edward Kellogg's original idea had flowed into Populist's Omaha Platform of 1892 by suggesting a promising research we can make on the financial thoughts and social movements of important persons or organizations, such as Alexander Campbell, Henry Carey, Greenback-Labor Party, Knights of Labor, Grangers, and Farmers Alliance. And, paying attention to free-silver movements paralleling greenbackism from the end of 1870's, I am persuaded to say, we could grasp an important undercurrent of idea of natuional state which was expected to solve the social problem American people faced at that time.Finally, I, making use of knowledge and insights I have acquired along the way of this research, have written a couple of reviews of books, such as United States Cultural History: Reading Historical Siurces eds.
