Prof. Kyoichi Nakamura argues that corporate control by outside citizens is the only effective way to get rid of the evils of capitalistic economy and corporations. He says that under the contemporary capitalism the market system no more works effectively or "disappeared", but political control by few monopolistic corporations and central government have replaced the old market system (in other words, "controlled society" has come). Now the new system is working instead. Only the new system can manage "surplus capital," existence of which is the distinction of contemporary capitalism, and management of which is a decisive element of sustainable development of contemporary capitalism. He criticized my book on the ground that the theory was based on obsolete market-oriented capitalism image instead of contemporary controlled capitalism. Therefore, he argues, my (Kataoka's) theory cannot clarify the actual conditions of contemporary corporations, and consequently it failed to find the way to capitalism tomorrow. In this paper, I argue back against Prof. Nakamura referring to mistake-filled contemporary capitalism view, misinterpretation or misreading of Kataoka's view, and vagueness or ambiguity of many concepts he uses in his paper, which are disastrous mistakes. Consequently I cannot accept his criticism at all, which stands on the basis of totally erroneous knowledge of capitalism.
