This volume deepens and revises our understanding of early-modern Japan by examining connections between economic thought and policy. It also engages issues of interest to scholars of world history ...and economic thought outside Japan or East Asia.
THIS ARTICLE ARGUES THAT THE PARALLELS BETWEEN WESTERN DEMOCRATIC AND EASTERN REVOLUTIONARY-DESPOTIC SOCIALISM ARE NUMEROUS ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY THE ASSERTION THAT SOCIALISM IS ONE OF THE MAIN ...STRATEGIES OF MODERNITY, INDEED, THE ONLY ONE WHICH IS (WAS) GLOBAL. FURTHERMORE, IT IS THE ONLY VARIANT OF MODERNITY THAT EAST AND WEST HAVE IN COMMON. HOWEVER, THE PUZZLE THAT THE COUNTRIES OF EASTERN EUROPE HAVE YET TO SOLVE IS WHETHER THEY WANT TO CONTINUE ON THE TRAJECTORY OF MODERN DEVELOPMENT THAT SOCIALIST REVOLUTION AND CONQUEST STARTED, OR WHETHER THEY WANT TO TRY TO RESTORE SOME SORT OF FICTIONAL COMMUNITY ERECTED ON THE DOCTRINES OF ROUSSEAU AND DE MAISTRE. IT CONCLUDES THAT THE SITUATION IN EASTERN EUROPE HAS NOT ESSENTIALLY CHANGED SINCE THE EMERGENCE OF REVOLUTIONARY SOCIALISM. EAST EUROPEANS STILL DO NOT WANT TO ACCEPT THE "ALIENATED" INDIVIDUALISM AND SOCIAL DIVERSITY OF LIBERAL CAPITALISM, BUT ARE UNWILLING TO RETURN TO THE KIND OF HARSH, TYRANNICAL, RULE THAT WOULD BE NEEDED TO FORGE ESSENTIAL UNITY.

Having seen an application of Rawls' theory of justice to the idea and workings of the European balance of power system, which often required fighting, we now hear that Rawls' theory ignores, even ...denies meaning to, the sacrifices soldiers make in a just war. Its individualistic assumptions, says Professor Jackson, make acts of supererogation appear irrational. Yet, without them the community cannot be preserved.
