Abstract
First and foremost, this book aims “to understand and revisit the relevance of Marxist theory to the historical present” (4), centering on the work of the Japanese economist Uno Kozo (1897–1977), who is known for his original, heterodox reading of Karl Marx’s Capital. The so-called Uno School has been one of the major forces in the study of economics in Japan and, in recent years, more and more scholars outside the country have drawn attention to his work. Walker’s book discusses Uno’s work in relation to the debate on Japanese capitalism that took place during the late 1920s and early 1930s. This debate pitted the so-called Kōza (Lectures) faction against the Rōnō (Labor-Farmer) faction and was primarily concerned with the disparity in socioeconomic and cultural development between the city and the countryside. Chapter 2 provides an overview of the debate. Representing the official line of the Japanese Communist Party and the Comintern, the Kōza faction considered capitalism in Japan unique since it was based on feudal remnants. In contrast, the Rōnō faction argued that the country’s capitalist development was following the general path laid out by historical materialism and denied the specific theoretical and political significance of the agrarian problem.
