7th Topos Conference
“The Wealth of Nations,” written by the father of economics, Adam Smith, was an incredible innovative leap.
Until that time, people had believed it necessary to think of the public good and act logically in order to realize a good society.
However, Smith theorized that if people did not think of the public good but instead pursued their own profit only, they would be
guided by the “invisible hand” and the end result would be one of public profit.
Thereafter, Smith’s paradigm shift would eventually become (laissez-faire capitalism-based) market capitalism. However, it was
blind faith in market capitalism which led to not only the Dutch tulip and bulb craze, the Great Depression of 1929, Black Monday,
and other financial crises, but also pollution and environmental destruction, extreme shareholder value management, and moral
hazards for executives.
Of course, criticisms and warnings against capitalism have been given time and again. Marx and Engels, who pointed out the
paradoxes of capitalism, Weber, who criticized setting profit as a goal, Hayek, who objected to rationalism (despite being a
laissez-faire economist), Drecker, who similarly warned against economically rationalistic management behavior—the list goes on
and on.
Following the 2008 Lehman Brothers crash, criticism of market capitalism once again ignited. Michael Sandel, on his TV program
“Justice with Michael Sandel,” points to the lack of “justice,” while others such as Stieglitz, Krugman, and bestselling author of
“Capital in the Twenty-first Century” Thomas Picketty, condemn the crime of “unacceptable income inequality.” Even the pope
remonstrated capitalism as an “exclusionary and unfair economy.”
Fortunately, academics as well as political and industrial leaders have begun to discuss a new type of capitalism to replace the
old. But Japan has swept such essential debate under the rug, out of sight and out of mind. It is set to repeat the failures of the
20th century.
At this 7th Topos Conference, please join us in applying practical wisdom together with researchers of macroeconomics,
economic thought, and management, as well as the leaders of industry, and let us think about the future shape of capitalism.
