Nitobe Inazō (新渡戸稲造; 1862 – 1933) was a Japanese agronomist, diplomat, political scientist, politician, and writer. His father Nitobe Jūjirō was a samurai and retainer to the local daimyō of the Nanbu clan. His grandfather was Nitobe Tsutō and his great-grandfather was Nitobe Denzō (Koretami).

“Na Roma antiga, os coletores de impostos e outros agentes financeiros foram gradualmente elevados ao estatuto de cavaleiro; deste modo, o Estado mostrava apreço pelos seus serviços e sublinhava a importância do próprio dinheiro. Nada de semelhante se passava com os princípios da condição de cavaleiro (samurai) – estes persistiam em considerar as finanças como algo baixo, comparativamente às profissões intelectuais e morais. Deste modo, sendo o dinheiro e o amor ao dinheiro diligentemente ignorados, o próprio bushido conseguiu permanecer livre de mil e um males dos quais o dinheiro é a causa. Esta é razão suficiente para os nossos homens públicos se terem preservado por tanto tempo da corrupção.”
