As the world grapples with increased globalization and technological change, Friedrich List’s work appears more relevant than ever before.

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.

Friedrich List war ein bedeutender Vorreiter des deutschen Journalismus. Obgleich sein "National.-Magazin" von 1834 eine innovative journalistische Pionierleistung im Vormarz darstellt, ist das Blatt weitgehend unbekannt geblieben. Es handelt sich um eine der ersten Publikumszeitschriften, die sich nicht nur an das Bildungsburgertum, sondern auch an die "bildungsferne" Bevoelkerung richtete und uber unterhaltsame und innovative Themen aus allen Wissensgebieten und der ganzen Welt informieren wollte. Dabei machte sich das Blatt eine neue Reproduktionstechnik - die Xylographie - fur die Wiedergabe von Bildern zu nutze. Aus heutiger Sicht sind vor allem die zahlreichen Stadtebilder von Interesse. Zu einer Stadtetour vereint, nehmen sie uns auf eine spannende Expedition durch Westeuropa mit. Das Buch bildet Band XII der Schriftenreihe des Autors zu Friedrich List und setzt damit einen Schlusspunkt. Das "National-Magazin" ist ein fruhes, von England inspiriertes Zeugnis, dass mit illustrierten Unterhaltungsjournalen das aufstrebende Burgertum mit einem neuartigen medialen Genre angesprochen und erreicht wird.
