Additions and corrections to the text are as follows. (2022.7.9)

The amounts of overseas long-term capital outflow and long-term capital inflows for the Empire in Table 2.11 were incorrectly listed in reverse. There is no effect on other items, including the capital account total. I apologize to the users of this book and would like to correct this error.

(p.73, second paragraph)

The total amount of overseas long-term investment outflow of Japan was 4,850 million yen. That same amount on the empire base is 2020 million yen, which is for Manchuria, China, and other countries. When the difference between the mainland base and the empire base of overseas long-term investment outflow is calculated, the amount is 2,830 million yen. Most of this investment went to ex-colonies, such as Taiwan and Korea.
