■ Title
Sophistication and Education of economics: What sorts of educational Problems arise in Universities?(writing with Japanese)

■ Outline
Transformation from economics having social thought to pure engineering is in progress in the world at present. In Japan, Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has considered to prompt Japanese universities and colleges to join examinations of economics of AHELO. There are decline of Marxian Economics owing to breakdown of socialistic governments and economics that praise market fundamentalism get strong power in Globalization at the back of such a movement.
Therefore, education of economics in Japan lost thought of governing a nation and providing relief to people and sophistication. As a result, a lot of scholars tend to teach surface skill of economics without economical thought in this education. Daito Bunka University is not an exception of these problems. I indicate three points which we must pay enough attention as we teach economics in this paper.
(1) Economics have various properties to be different by nations, times and class and stratum which economists belong to.
(2) Economic experiments have limitations in many ways compared with natural science. To be short, economics is a relative learning, not an absolute one.
(3) It is necessary for us to get a high degree of sophistication and realize education over departments and majors in order to instruct limitations of economics to students.
