Friedrich List (1789-1846) was a prophet of social market economy,
national economy and the infant-industry theory. In this
comprehensive biography the international influence and reception
of List’s theories is presented together with his extraordinary
vita. List was a notable early advocate of economic
integration of the many separate states of 19th century Germany.
His basic theory is that of productive resources and the need to
protect infant industries until they have matured enough to stand
alone. He is recognized as a visionary economist with social
responsibility and as an influential railway pioneer. He was a
liberal and a democrat who promoted an extended representative
democracy, including respect for human rights and civil liberties,
to accompany industrial development. His highly influential
main work “The National System of Political Economy” has been
translated into many languages. Eugen Wendler, the renowned author
and List expert, not only builds upon his many years of research,
but also discusses several new sources. This richly illustrated
book is as informative as it is well written.
