Friedrich List Revisited:
Economic Nationalism in a Global Age
A Seminar
This seminar will explore the foundations of economic nationalism. We will read and discuss Friderich List’s National System of Political Economy (1841). List argued that states should support the flourishing of their people through economic policies as well as educational and cultural institutions. Perhaps surprisingly, List saw himself as the intellectual heir of Adam Smith and was a major influence on both right-wing and left-wing economic and political movements after him, including modern industrial policy as well as revolutionary ideologies.
By invitation only.
