Friedrich List Knihy

The book explores the historical pursuit of global dominance by various nations, contrasting military power with the more sustainable foundations of industry, commerce, and navigation. It argues that past attempts at establishing universal rule through force have been ultimately futile, highlighting the importance of economic and trade systems as the true basis for lasting influence and power in the world.

Focusing on national and pan-national trade management, this three-volume work by a leading 19th-century economic philosopher offers a distinct perspective compared to contemporaries like Marx and Smith. It advocates for a collaborative approach between government and business, presenting a reasoned doctrine aimed at enhancing global economic cooperation.

Friedrich List was one of the most prominent economic philosophers of the 19th century, on a par with-but espousing quite different thinking than-Karl Marx and Adam Smith. In the three-volume National System of Political Economy, he explores a reasoned doctrine of national and pan-national management of trade, a global collaboration between government and business. Presented here in one combined volume, List examines the pronounced influence of freedom prudently balanced with regulation in the economic histories of the nations of Europe and North America, delineates his theory of supportive interconnectedness, and explores the economic and political systems that nurture ascendant nations in their global sovereignty. A close reading of this 1841 classic is an absolute necessity for anyone who hopes to understand world economic history of the last 150 years. German economist and journalist FRIEDRICH LIST (1789-1846) served as professor of administration and politics at the University of Tübingen, but was jailed and later exiled to America for his political views. He is also the author of Outlines of American Political Economy (1827).

Friedrich List entwickelte 1827 in seiner Schrift die Grundgedanken seiner Nationalökonomie, die der Industrialisierung in den USA, Deutschland und Japan zugrunde lag und heute angesichts der Globalisierung wieder an Bedeutung gewinnt. Ursprünglich in 12 offenen Briefen in der National Gazette veröffentlicht, richtete sich seine Arbeit gegen britische Versuche, ihr Wirtschaftssystem auf die ehemalige Kolonie zu übertragen. Lists scharfe Kritik am Modell Adam Smiths blieb bisher weitgehend unberücksichtigt, da die Schrift nur einmal (1908) in einer verzerrten Form auf Deutsch erschien. Er beschreibt die Voraussetzungen für eine erfolgreiche Industrialisierungspolitik und warnt vor den verheerenden Auswirkungen globaler Finanzinteressen auf die nationale Produktion. Diese Ideen bilden das Fundament seines späteren nationalökonomischen Schaffens. Der bedeutende deutsche Nationalökonom, der von 1789 bis 1846 lebte, hatte nach politischen Schwierigkeiten in Ungarn zeitweise großen wirtschaftlichen Erfolg in den USA. Nach seiner Rückkehr aus Heimweh nach Deutschland wurde er ein wichtiger Verfechter der Eisenbahn. List wurde von der österreichischen und britischen Geheimdiplomatie verfolgt und starb tragischerweise kurz bevor er in den preußischen Staatsdienst eintreten konnte.

The book explores the dynamic relationship between individual prosperity and social liberties throughout history. It highlights how the development of production powers and personal wealth is closely linked to the political and social institutions in various regions, including Italian and Hanseatic cities, Holland, England, France, and America. By examining these connections, the author emphasizes the importance of freedoms in fostering economic growth and individual success.
