At a time when critiques of free trade policies are gaining currency, it is important to understand the intellectual history of neomercantilist thought.
In this seminar, Eric Helleiner challenges dominant understandings of this history that focus on Friedrich List, highlighting the diverse origins of this ideology in many different parts of the world between the late eighteenth and early twentieth centuries. The history illuminates neglected intellectual traditions that gave rise to distinctive varieties of neomercantilism around the globe, some of which have left enduring intellectual legacies.
