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.
