Abstract
[eng] The concept of agricultural fundamentalism emerged in the later period of the Tokugawa Shogunate was renewed in the early Meiji era, and had been predominated until the end of World War II. However, a new thought on the nation-building depending either on commerce and manufacture or on international trade had already come out even just before the Meiji Restoration. Since that time, this new thought had gradually earned a stronger national support during the long period before World War II. After the war, the policy for nation-building depending on international trade has become the principle for the development of economy, overwhelming the concept of agricultural fundamentalism. In terms of economic growth of the nation, a great success has been attained in the last decade. In short, Japan has become an economic power, while at the same time, her agriculture has begun declining. Now that economism is presently predominating in Japan. [fre] La vision « fondamentaliste », qui attribue à l'agriculture un rôle primordial et spécifique dans l'économie a émergé dans le dernier temps de la période Tokugawa (1603-1867) et a été renouvelée dans les premières années de la période Meiji (1868-1912). Ce fondamentalisme agricole domina la politique agricole jusqu'à la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale. Pourtant une nouvelle idée de la construction de la nation fondée sur le commerce et l'industrie est apparue juste avant la restauration de Meiji. Depuis la restauration, ce fondamentalisme industriel a graduellement gagné l'appui national. Après la seconde guerre mondiale la politique de reconstruction nationale fondée sur le commerce international est devenue le principe dominant pour le développement économique, en écrasant le concept du fondamentalisme agricole. En terme de croissance économique de la nation une réussite brillante a été accomplie pendant la dernière décennie. En un mot, le Japon est devenu une des grandes puissances économiques dans le monde. Pendant ce temps, l'agriculture japonaise a commencé à décliner. Aujourd'hui, l'économisme a pénétré dans les couches sociales, hautes et moyennes.
