This study focused on the fact that “Family Meeting” is an economic novel as a ‘pure novel’ and examined the meaning of stocks depicted in “Family Meeting”. The “Family Meeting” tells the story of a brokerage firm in Kabutocho, Tokyo, which suffered heavy losses from the collapse of the Japanese financial markets due to the European War, the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, and the Great Depression, being attacked by broker Nire from Osaka in the relationship between Takayuki and Taiko. The ‘pure novel’ discussed in ‘pure novel theory’ creates a possible world by reconstructing reality rather than depicting society as it is. This study analyzed description of Takayuki’s stock brokerage collapse and Nire’s stock price problem by comparing it to contemporary reality, and examined the differences and commonalities between reality pursued by Yokomitsu and reality as a social criticism aimed at by proletarian literature. In addition, this study clarified that Yokomitsu did not reveal the actual events as they are in “Family Meeting” and drew the absurdity of the Japanese financial system, and furthermore, “money” itself through the love story of the two young people, and that Yokomitsu wanted to convey to the reader that the economic damage revealed in the “Family Meeting”, especially the fall of the middle class, was the decisive cause of shaking the living base, housing, and traditional values and entering an era of anxiety.
