“Shibusawa’s enormous contribution to the economic success story of Meiji Japan, Sagers argues, was not primarily based on business interests but on mutual trust and on the time-honored values of moral commitment. These key attributes of the business ethics promoted by Shibusawa, which paid heed to the importance of social harmony, deserve the attention of the readers of the twenty-first century as well: in particular those with keen interest in East Asian religions.” (Lehel Balogh, Religious Studies Review, Vol. 45 (2), June, 2019)
