Uno Theory - Unoriron

Uno Theory - Unoriron

…His major achievements include the proposal of the so-called three-stage theory, which divides economic research into three areas: theory of principles, theory of stages, and analysis of the current situation (Methodology of Economics, 1960, etc.), the reconstruction of Das Kapital as a theory of principles (Principles of Economics, Vol. 1 and 2, 1950-52, etc.), and the determination of three historical types of accumulation patterns (Economic Policy, 1954). Uno's theory is one of the greatest achievements of postwar Marxist economics, but is considered heretical by orthodox Marxist researchers. It has attracted international attention since the 1970s, and an English translation of Principles of Economics was published in 1980. …

From Marxist Economics

...However, these problems only began to be truly resolved after World War II, when the government's severe suppression of Marxist economics was lifted and free research began.
[Postwar development]
The development of Marxist economics after the war saw progress in research by both the Lecture School and the Labor-Farmer School, but the most important achievement was the systematization of a new Marxist economics (Uno theory) by Uno Kozo. While critically examining both schools of prewar debate on capitalism in Japan from a position close to that of the Labor-Farmer School, Uno believed that feudal or non-capitalist relations remaining in Japanese society were inevitably produced by the movement of capital itself, in other words, that when capitalism reached a certain stage, its mode of movement would inevitably differ from the laws of movement set out in Das Kapital, and he sought to systematically construct a logical connection between Das Kapital and the capitalization of developing countries.

…主要な業績は,経済学の研究を原理論,段階論,現状分析の3分野に分けるいわゆる3段階論の提唱(《経済学方法論》1960,など),《資本論》の原理論としての再構成(《経済原論》上・下,1950‐52,など),蓄積様式の世界史的3類型の確定(《経済政策論》1954)などである。〈宇野理論〉は戦後マルクス経済学の最大の成果の一つであるが,正統的マルクス研究からは異端視される。70年代より国際的にも注目され,80年には《経済原論》の英訳が刊行された。…

… しかし,これらの問題が真に解決されはじめたのは,マルクス経済学に対する政府の厳しい弾圧から解放されて自由な研究が開始された第2次大戦後のことであった。
[戦後の発展]
 戦後におけるマルクス経済学の発展には,講座派,労農派それぞれについて研究の進展がみられたが,しかしなんといっても最も重要な成果は,宇野弘蔵による新しいマルクス経済学の体系化(宇野理論)であった。 宇野は,戦前の日本資本主義論争を労農派に近い立場から両派を批判的に考察しつつ,日本社会に残存する封建的ないし非資本主義的諸関係は,資本の運動自身が必然的に生みだしているのではないか,すなわち資本主義が一定の段階に達すると,その運動様式は《資本論》に示された運動法則と異なってくる必然性があるのではないか,と考え,《資本論》と後進国における資本主義化との論理的関連を体系的に組み立てるよう追究した。…
