2018
Yamazaki, R. (Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology (Japan))
In this paper, first, examining critically an existing economic theory, we derived an economic logic that the modern capitalism dismantling non-capitalist elements becomes further pure in spite of the policy movement which is afraid of a crisis in the social system and intends to dismantle and protect alternately non-capitalist elements depending on a business cycle. Second, we showed the economic logic adjusts trends of the agricultural policy and the agricultural structure under the Japanese Basic Law on Food, Agriculture and Rural Areas of 1999. Thirdly, behind this phenomenon, we found the fact that farming is an enterprise investing in means of production and there is an inelastic character of agricultural employment structures of part-time farmers.
