Remarks

Abstract (in Japanese)	Abstract (in English)
	The purpose of this paper is to reevaluate Pragmatism and Institutionalism as the tool of analysis of modern capitalism. In the first part, we propose a new human being model that we human beings depend on the custom and rearrange it. This new model is based on the theory of C. S. Peirce. In the second part, we argue that the transaction of incorporeal property and intangible property is the main cause of the financial business cycle and financial crisis. This argument is based on the theory of J. R. Commons.
