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 3 explores the economic and political systems that nurture ascendant nations in their global sovereignty.

The importance of this book, translated for the first time in 1983, lies not so much in List's advocacy of the fiscal policy of protection as in the relatively new doctrines that he put forward. He discussed stages of economic growth, 'productive powers' and the industrialisation of developing regions. List's most fundamental teachings are fully developed in this book.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

In meinem Buche "Verwaltungsrecht technischer Betriebe" (Verlag der Weidmannschen Buchhandlung, Berlin 1937) konnte das Energierecht naturgemiW nur kurz im Rahmen des Gesamt inhaltes, und auch da nur grundsatzIich behandelt werden. Dadurch bIieb nicht nur die starke seither herrschende zivil rechtIiche Seite der Energiewirtschaft zwangslaufig fast v6llig unberiicksichtigt. Auch k6nnen und sollten die dort eigentIich nur auswahlweise behandelten Kapitel selbstverstandlich nicht als der allein giiltige Teil des Energierechtes gelten, das ja als solches gar nicht zur Darstellung gebracht werden wollte. Vielmehr wurde dies diesem besonderen GrundriB vorbehalten. So bildet er einmal eine notwendige Erganzung zu meinem ein gangs erwahnten, vor Jahresfrist erschienenen, bewuBt allgemein gehaltenen "Verwaltungsrecht technischer Betriebe ," wie umge kehrt dieses die breitere Grundlage des neuen Grundrisses bleiben wird. Zugleich m6chte aber dieser GrundriB in gewissem Sinne ein rechtIicher Anhang zu dem im Verlage J uIius Springer im Jahre 1936 erschienenen Werke meines Kollegen Herrn Prof. Dipl.-Ing. RUPPERT SCHNEIDER, Elektrische Energiewirtschaft, werden. AIle drei Biicher wenden sich in gleicher Weise an den Juristen, den Wirtschaftler und den Techniker. Deren gleich ausgerichtete Zusammenarbeit diinkt mir im Reiche der Deutschen Energie wirtschaft nicht weniger notwendig als anderswo. Denn auch hier scheinen die Bemiihungen sowohl einer absoluten Rechts wissenschaft wie einer ebensolchen Wirtschaftslehre und Wirt schaftspraxis noch keineswegs iiberwunden. DaB dies insbesondere in den Reihen der Juristen geschehe, ist nicht zuletzt auch ein Zweck dieser Arbeit."

In all ages, nations and powers have striven to attain to the dominion of the world, but hitherto not one of them has erected its power on so broad a foundation as industry, commerce, and navigation]. How vain do the efforts of those appear to us who have striven to found their universal dominion on military power... -from "Chapter 33: The Insular Supremacy and the Continental Powers-North America and France" 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.
