Developmental States and Markets in East Asia: An Introduction

  • Chapter
Developmental States in East Asia

Abstract

For Friedrich List, concerned above all with how Germany could develop manufacturing industry at a time when British manufacturers were sweeping all before them, the distinction between these two kinds of economics was vital. What we know as classical economics was List’s ‘cosmopolitical economy’. It operated on the Enlightenment assumption of citizens of the world as economic individuals, seeking competitive advantage in free international and internal trade. Marxian economics introduced class distinctions, but gave the division of citizens of the world into nation-states no more significance than it had in classical economics.
