The first authoritative study of Japan's environmental problems by the acclaimed environmental economist, placing environmental issues within a socioeconomic context. In providing an historical account of environmental disruption in Japan, the author takes a number of key cases of industrial pollution in the pre-war and post-war periods and illustrates the effectiveness of taking into account socioeconomic affairs. Finally, he proposes a set of concrete countermeasures against environmental problems, applicable to all developed countries today, aimed at achieving a new 'quality of life'. First published in 2000, this title is part of the Bloomsbury Academic Collections series.

In these lectures Shigeto Tsuru reappraises institutionalism as a school of thought and discusses its relevance for the issues that face the economics profession today. He begins with a historical perspective by reconsidering Marx as an "institutionalist," which provides a context for a discussion on Keynes, Schumpeter and Veblen. This is followed by an examination of modern institutionalism through the work of Gunnar Myrdal, J. K. Galbraith and William Kapp. He concludes with an evaluation of the future of the institutionalist approach.
