Summary "At a time when critiques of free trade policies are gaining currency, The Neomercantilists helps make sense of the protectionist turn, providing the first intellectual history of the genealogy of neomercantilism. Eric Helleiner identifies many pioneers of this ideology between the late eighteenth and early twentieth centuries who backed strategic protectionism and other forms of government economic activism to promote state wealth and power. They included not just the famous Friedrich List, but also numerous lesser-known thinkers, many of whom came from outside of the West."-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Eric Helleiner is Professor in the Department of Political Science and the Balsillie School of International Affairs at the University of Waterloo Print version record Subject Mercantile system -- History -- Philosophy Mercantile system -- History -- 18th century Mercantile system -- History -- 19th century Mercantile system -- History -- 20th century Mercantile system -- Political aspects POLITICAL SCIENCE / International Relations / Trade & Tariffs Mercantile system Genre/Form History Form Electronic book LC no. 2020057760 ISBN 9781501760136 1501760130 9781501760143 1501760149
