Japan emerged in 1853 from two and a half centuries of self-imposed peaceful isolation, but within a few decades the country’s leaders embarked on a policy of aggressive territorial expansion. During the last half of the nineteenth century, the Western imperialist powers of England, France, and Germany established the model for acquisition of colonies in Asia and for the partition of China into spheres of influence. Near the end of the century, about the same time Japan began to capture colonial territory, the United States and Russia also initiated their imperialistic expansion in Asia.This paper will examine four of the most influential theories of imperialism to determine whether they can provide explanations for Japan’s imperialism from 1894 to 1910, when Japan formally annexed Korea. The four theories to be reviewed will be Hobson's theory of domestic market underconsumption that leads to capitalists seeking profits overseas, Lenin's theory of the monopoly stage of capitalism, Schumpeter's theory of inherited warlike tendencies from prior generations, and nationalism's focus on politics as the critical factor. Although other theories of imperialism exist, these four theories cover a broad range of economic, political, and sociological factors that could explain Japan’s imperialistic expansion. This essay's review of Japan's history of imperialism from 1894 to 1910 will show that the theory of nationalism provides the best explanations of the causes of Japan's militaristic actions and colonial acquisitions, although Schumpeter's sociological-based theory seems to provide some explanation for the actions of the Meiji Period (1868-1912) leaders.</span>
The correct answer is: "labor laws and anti trust cases".
Both are elements which limit the actions of corporations when they pursue their own interest of profit maximization without caring about the negative consequences that their economic activity may be causing to other economic agents or to the society as a whole.
On the first hand, labor laws defined the terms that should govern a labor contract and the rights of employers and employees, so that any abuses can be commited on any side.
Secondy, anti trust regulations (like Sherman Antitrust Act) and cases enable to prevent the consolidation of monopolies, which have serious negative consequences for consumers: high prices, lower amounts of production (possible shortages) and lower quality products, and also for society, as monopolists who control an industry do not have incentives for investing on innovation or efficient tecniques.
Lee begins the letter by thanking his son for sending the book about George Washington.
The book gets Lee thinking: Washington would be devastated at the state of the country he worked so hard to create.
Lee says that all hope is not yet lost though. U.S. is between a state of anarchy and civil war but no battles have been fought yet
