Friedrich List Livres

L'évolution inquiétante de l'économie mondiale conduit, inexorablement, à une remise en question du libre-échange et à une redécouverte du protectionnisme. Son plus important théoricien, Friedrich List (1789-M46), apparaît dans les manuels comme un acteur assez mal défini du nationalisme allemand de la première moitié du XIXe siècle. Son oeuvre, souvent mentionnée, n'est que rarement analysée. List fut pourtant bien autre chose qu'un nationaliste revendicatif et un économiste improvisé. Citoyen du monde ayant vécu en Allemagne, aux Etats-Unis et en France, il fut et reste l'un des critiques les plus formidables de l'économie classique. Parce qu'il ne se laisse pas emprisonner par le concept de valeur, il est un opposant à l'économisme plus radical que Marx. Parce qu'il admet l'existence de l'homme économique et de sa liberté, il est aussi un réformateur plus efficace. La Russie post-marxiste est un champ de ruines. Les Etats-Unis, postlistiens, l'Allemagne et le Japon, listiens par leur mentalité industrielle protectionniste, dominent encore l'économie mondiale. Le Système national d'économie politique (1841) a déjà retrouvé sa place au coeur des débats américains. Conçu et écrit pour l'essentiel à Paris, le voici enfin réédité en français.

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 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.

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 explores, in the three-volume National System of Political Economy, a reasoned doctrine of national and pan-national management of trade, a global collaboration between government and business. Volume 1 examines the pronounced influence of freedom prudently balanced with regulation in the economic histories of the nations of Europe and North America. 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 Tbingen, but was later jailed and later exiled to America for his political views. His is also the author of Outlines of American Political Economy (1827).

Friedrich List's biography details his journey from a trading clerk to a pivotal economist advocating for economic nationalism and protectionism in 19th-century Europe. The narrative encompasses his personal struggles and professional milestones, including his influential writings like "National System of Political Economy." These works articulate his vision for prioritizing domestic industries against foreign competition. This book serves as a crucial resource for understanding List's impact on economic thought and policy, highlighting his lasting legacy in the field.

Friedrich List presents a distinct economic philosophy in his three-volume work, advocating for national and pan-national trade management. Unlike contemporaries Karl Marx and Adam Smith, he emphasizes the importance of collaboration between government and business to foster economic growth. His insights delve into the strategic organization of trade and the role of national interests in shaping economic policies, positioning him as a key figure in 19th-century economic thought.
