Michio Morishima

Michio Morishima (森嶋 通夫, Morishima Michio, July 18, 1923 – July 13, 2004) was a Japanese heterodox economist and public intellectual who was the Sir John Hicks Professor of Economics at the London School of Economics from 1970 to 1988. He was also professor at Osaka University and member of the British Academy. In 1976 he won the Order of Culture (文化勲章, Bunka-kunshō).

Career

Originally desiring a career as a historical novelist, at the university Morishima pursued social science, studying both economics and sociology under Yasuma Takada. At Kyoto University, Morishima was rigorously trained in both mainstream neoclassical economic theory and Marxian economics. Mathematically gifted, in 1946, he graduated from Kyoto University and taught there in addition to Osaka University. He started Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER) of Osaka University with Yasuma Takada.

In 1960 he established with Nobel-laureate Lawrence R. Klein from the Economics Department of the University of Pennsylvania the International Economic Review (today published by Penn), which grew to become one of the leading journals in economics in the world.[1]

In 1965, he became the first Japanese president of the Econometric Society. By all accounts, John Hicks was a committed advocate of Morishima's careership in England.

In 1968, he immigrated to Britain, teaching at University of Essex, then accepting an endowed chair at the LSE in 1970.

Later, he started the project that led to the establishment of the Suntory-Toyota Foundation and the Suntory and Toyota International Centres for Economic and Related Disciplines (STICERD) at LSE. He was STICERD's first chairman. In 1991 he was elected Honorary Fellow of the LSE.[2]

Contributions

La obra de Morishima en tres volúmenes que reinterpreta y sintetiza las ideas económicas de los principales escritos de David Ricardo , Karl Marx y Léon Walras , ahora en gran parte olvidada, representa uno de los puntos culminantes de la economía política radical de la Nueva Izquierda de los años setenta en América del Norte. Su intenso interés en la teoría del equilibrio general , la economía política clásica y el capitalismo impulsaron este trabajo. Basados ​​en conferencias de la LSE, estos libros trabajaron para adaptar el modelo de crecimiento multisectorial de von Neumann de 1937 a un modelo de equilibrio general. Considerando ricardiano el trabajo de estos teóricos , sus tres libros trabajaron para mostrar que la modificación de los mismos según las líneas de von Neumann dilucida las similitudes y diferencias teóricas entre las posiciones.
