Most of the chapters in this volume were presented at a series of workshops at Hitotsubashi University (in Tokyo) from 2013 to 2016, and a workshop in Nice in March 2017. These formed part of an ongoing project on ‘Welfare Economics and the Welfare State in Historical Perspective’ out of which an earlier volume, No Wealth but Life: Welfare Economics and the Welfare State in Britain, 1880-1945 (2010) also emerged.

These were generously funded by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, number 25245032. We also bene- fitted from the grant of the Excellence Chair ‘Welfare Economics’ funded by CNRS and Jean Monnet University at Saint-Etienne. We are indebted to Muriel Dal Pont for her kind assistance in organising the Nice workshop and to Michie Kano for her work over many years on workshops at Hitotsubashi University, including one disrupted by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. We are also grateful to Mrs Nobuko Matsuzawa for permis­sion to reproduce the chapter by her father, Yuichi Shionoya, previously published in History of Economic Ideas, Anno XXII, 2014(1), pp. 16-49, and to Mrs Akiko Suzumura for permission to include the chapter by Kotaro Suzumura. We also wish to thank Prasanta Pattanaik, three an­onymous referees, and several contributors to the volume, for their helpful comments on the Introduction and Conclusion. Of course, none of them should be held responsible for any errors that remain.
