Economic Thought of Friedrich List e-bog

As the world grapples with increased globalization and technological change, Friedrich List's work appears more relevant than ever before. His theory of "e;productive powers"e; and his argument for protecting infant industries give us a valuable way of looking at innovation systems, winners and losers in international trade, and the current shift towards economic and political nationalism.Comprising fifteen specially commissioned chapters from a range of international scholars, this book explores many aspects of List's economic thought, including industrial development, political economy, the economics of education, infrastructure and catching-up processes in Asian economies.This volume will be illuminating reading for advanced students and researchers in the history of economic thought, economic history, economic policy and international trade.
