Deflation in the Mirror of History: Was East Asia Exempt from the ‘Great Depression’ of 1873-1896? 歴史に映ったデフレーション：東アジアは1873-1896年の「大不況」を免れたか |
| 概要： (Abstract) |
Between 1873 and 1896, the Western countries experienced a long phase of price deflation punctuated by three severe international depressions. For decades, this period was called 'the Great Depression,' before that name was reassigned to the depression of the 1930s. More recently, neoclassically minded economic historians have revised this first Great Depression out of existence, describing the era instead as the first globalization boom, an era of good deflation, open trade, and free capital flows. In regard to both of these processes--deflation/depression and financial globalization--the international gold standard emerges as a critical institution. Despite their increasing incorporation into the world economy, however, most Asian countries remained largely immune from the Western deflation. A consideration of the Asian silver zone, and of the independent East Asian countries especially, is thus critical for establishing the extent of, and the limits to, the first globalization depression. |
