On the Controversy over an Authorʼs Book

Abstract

This paper is an answer to the critique given by Professor Masahiro Yamamoto in this journal for an authorʼs book, “Changes in Agricultural Structures under Globalization: Types of Primitive Accumulation” published by Ochanomizu Shobo in 2014. The issues are as follows. ①On the concept of primitive accumulation. ②On the correction of the relative surplus-population law under the modern capitalist society. ③On both sides of the decline and development of agriculture in the “Kinki-type” region. ④On the change of “stage” developed by the author's argument.
