"Originally published in Japanese as Shibusawa Eiichi : shakai kigyōka no senkusha by Iwanami Shoten in 2011. The original text has been revised and edited by the author for the English version"--Title page verso.. - From farm boy to shogunate vassal : seeking an outlet for his talents -- Leader of the Meiji business world : developing the mechanisms for an open economy -- Shibusawa's personal network -- Politics for the benefit of the private sector -- Contribution to nation building through social and public enterprises -- Epilogue : Shibusawa's vision of modern society.. - "In this penetrating biography of Shibusawa Eiichi (1840-1931), one of Japan's foremost entrepreneurs, Shimada Masakazu traces Shibusawa's youth, when he witnessed the decay of Japan's feudal society and experienced the benefits of modernization at first hand in Europe; his service in the Ministry of Finance of the new Meiji government in its early years; and his venture into business and involvement in literally hundreds of companies as he set about building the roots of modern corporate Japan. Shimada also looks closely at Shibusawa's social activities and his insistence that economics and morals are inseparable. In troubled times like the present, when the limits of capitalism are being seen around the world, Shibusawa's vision is as relevant as ever"-- Baksiden av omslaget
