Economists and Society in Postwar Japan

Author

Listed:
  • Yasukichi Yasuba

Abstract

An economist can contribute to the welfare of the society through various means. First, he may be engaged in abstract research which eventually brings fruits to society. Second, he may do empirical research whose results directly or indirectly affect public opinion and public policy. Third, he may teach at a college or a university where he presumably contributes to the enrichment of human capital. Fourth, he may be engaged in advocating or criticizing a policy or a system through mass media. Finally, he may participate in policy making itself.
