第2次世界大戦後1980年代までの日本経済は先進国の中で最も成長率が高くかつ平等的であった。1990年のバブル崩壊後30年にわたって、日本は先進国の中で最も成長率が低くまた所得格差の拡大も目立った。この失われた30年は、1930年代のアメリカ経済の停滞（ハンセンの長期停滞論）になぞられて特殊日本経済の「長期経済停滞」として多くの注目を集めた。2000年代に入ると日本だけではなく、ヨーロッパ、続いてアメリカも長期の経済停滞に陥った。経済停滞は日本の特殊現象ではなく世界的な現象として、主流派経済学を含んで「長期経済停滞論」の議論が再燃している。このシンポジュームでは現在の長期停滞を理解するためには、資本主義の長期的歴史視野と地政学的視角が必要であることを明らかにする。

This symposium revisits the phenomenon of Japanese capitalism in light of the fate of the North Atlantic and developing economies and places it in a longer historical political and geopolitical economy of capitalism from a variety of political and disciplinary perspectives. The presentations will deal with three topics that go to the heart of secular stagnation
  1. Japanese capitalism: It was once an admired model of miraculous growth with a relatively egalitarian distribution of income, fell into secular stagnation in the early 1990s. The phenomenon has since fascinated observers, provoked debates, provided policy advocates elsewhere with much grist for their policy mills, yielding a range of policy proposals, some of them mutually contradictory, and, most importantly, burdened an entire population, and particularly its young. Japan’s secular stagnation has raised new questions about policy difficulties on a range of fronts -- dramatically lowered growth rate, deteriorating labor conditions, rising class and gender inequality, a profound and many-faceted crisis of social reproduction and a deepening fiscal crisis of the state -- all of which have important international ramifications.
  2. Interest in and the importance of Japan’s secular stagnation: It grew rapidly after 2008 as many have sought to understand the economic malaise of the North Atlantic by analogy and comparison with all or parts of the Japanese condition, particularly its monetary policy.
  3. The meaning of secular stagnation beyond Japan at this stage of capitalism. Are the term, secular stagnation, and Japan’s experience, relevant to understanding deteriorating condition of capitalism in its homelands today? Are we facing a serious crisis like the Great Depression in the 1930s?
