Comparative Historical Study on Liberal State Interventionism and Administration of Market Economy since the Interwar Period

近年来，现代经济史研究有了长足的发展。因此，我们需要一个新的参照系来解释新发现的历史事实。例如，就德国而言，NS工资政策作为解释20世纪30年代初经济复苏的一个极其重要的因素，受到了比凯恩斯经济政策更多的关注。此外，作为与我们主题相关的其他重要事实，还可以列举以下几点：德国新自由主义(奥多里伯利亚主义)与国家社会主义之间的一种亲和力，NS国有与私营企业之间的相对正常关系，其中私有财产和契约自由发挥了充分作用，以及自两次世界大战以来通过国际清算银行与包括NS德国在内的资本主义国家进行的国际合作。考虑到这些研究背景，我们从自由干涉主义和市场经济管理的角度考察了以下问题：德国关于经济思想、财政货币制度和公共服务行业的自由干预主义的历史形成；国际金融和货币制度的新自由主义观念；战时日本的市场控制和管理；NS经济思想对战时日本的影响；1948年以来西德新自由主义与社会市场经济的关系。我们在2006年政治经济学和经济史学会会议上就这一主题进行了小组讨论。我们邀请了Werner Abelshauser教授和Jochen Streb教授作为外国合作者，以便在日本举行研究会议。

Recently the study of modern economic history has remarkably developed. As the result we need a new frame of reference in order to explain the newly discovered historical facts. For example, with regard to Germany, the NS wage policy receives much more attention of researchers than Keynesian economic policy as an extremely important factor to explain the economic recovery in the early 1930s. Furthermore as the additional important facts concerning of our theme the following could be listed: A kind of affinity between German Neo Liberalism (Ordoliberalismus)and National Socialism, the relative normal relationship between NS State and private business firms, where private property and freedom of contract played the ample role, and the international cooperation with capitalist states including NS Germany through BIS since the Interwar period. Taking into account these research contexts, we investigated the following from the viewpoint of liberal interventionism and administration of market economy, which tries to overcome the dichotomy of either Intervention or Laissez-Faire: the historical formation of liberal interventionism concerning economic thought, finance and monetary system, and public service industry in Germany; neo liberal idea of international finance and monetary system of BIB; control and management of market in the wartime Japan; influence of NS economic thought on Wartime Japan; the relationship between Neo Liberalism and Social Market Economy since 1948 in West Germany. We hold the panel discussion on this theme in the Conference of the Political Economy and Economic History Society in 2006. We invited Professor Werner Abelshauser and Professor Jochen Streb as foreign cooperators in order to hold research meetings in Japan.
