Routledge Dictionary of Economics, Second Edition
Morishima, Michio, 1923– (B3)
Japanese-born UK professor of economics. He was born in Osaka, Japan, and graduated from Kyoto University. After teaching at Kyoto and Osaka and visiting Oxford and Yale, in 1968 he permanently emigrated to the UK where he was professor at Essex University from 1968 to 1970 and subsequently at the London School of Economics.
He is a mathematical economist of note who has synthesized GENERAL EQUILIBRIUM theory, INPUT-OUTPUT ANALYSIS and economic dynamics in his Theory of Economic Growth (1969). Also he has fruitfully applied mathematical economics to the study of MARX’S ideas in Marx’s Economics: A Dual Theory of Value and Growth (1973) and in Value, Exploitation and Growth (1978). His Economic Theory of Modern Society (1975) has popularized many results of mathematical economics previously inaccessible to the non-mathematician.
