On List's Economic Theory and Its Contributions

List criticized Smith's classical economic theory, especially his theory of international free trade comprehensively and profoundly, and provided a theoretical foundation on which Germany formulated its development strategy and policies of economy that suited the special conditions of Germany in the early stage of its market economy. His contributions to the history of economic theories are manifold. Besides introducing the new concepts of nationalism and productivity into economics, his proposal of historical analysis is deemed as a pioneering work of the theory of German Historical School. He regarded the state's system and moral principles as the inner variables of economic growth, and this idea had a profound impact on the System School.
