Abstract

This book aims to identify several points at which new economic theories diverged from the old by providing an overview of the traditional theories. The market is now dominated by the influence of financial speculation. That is to say, speculation has long since passed its original function. We can no longer remain in the domain of traditional definitions around markets. So our retrospection of traditional economics is limited to special interests. We do, however, give a quick characterization of the economy first, and we will then discuss historical ideas.

According to Professor Kazuyoshi Hidaka, Tokyo Institute of Technology, there were/are a wide variety of the notion of service. In service marketing, IHIP is well known as the description of service properties:
  • Intangibility
  • Heterogeneity
  • Inseparability = Simultaneity
  • Perishability
In addition, ‘Value Co-creation’ may be also included. See Lovelock and Gummesson (2004), Vargo and Lusch (2004a), and Laroche et al. (2001).

See, for example, Petras (2012): “An economist of impeccable credentials, James Henry, former chief economist at the prestigious consulting firm McKinsey & Company, has researched and documented tax evasion. He found that the super-wealthy and their families have as much as $32 trillion (USD) of hidden assets in offshore tax havens, representing up to $280 billion in lost income tax revenue! This study excluded such non-financial assets as real estate, precious metals, jewels, yachts, race horses, luxury vehicles and so on. Of the $32 trillion in hidden assets, $23 trillion is held by the super-rich of North America and Europe.
