‘This book is highly recommended for the richness and novelty of its case studies. Leaving aside the positive contribution made in enhancing our understanding of Japanese economic thought, by giving voice to economic traditions that had been previously neglected, and by showing the complexity of the interaction between the ‘centers’ of economic theorizing and the ‘periphery,’ the book has a great capacity to raise deep questions on the ways in which economic ideas originate, travel, adapt, and eventually become institutionalized.’
