Nationalism: Notes Towards a Reappraisal

André Reszler

Chapter 14 in The New Economic Nationalism, 1980, pp 210-218 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The philosophical groundwork of economic nationalism1 can best be highlighted by two metaphors: the seedling and the infant child. Both are exposed to the harshness or the open hostility of their environment and need care and affection if they are to develop into healthy, self-supporting organisms. The period of protection they require is defined by the time they need to adapt themselves to the adult world of strife and competition. It is no accident that two of the foremost theoreticians of economic nationalism, of self-sufficiency and protectionism-Johann Gottlieb Fichte and Friedrich List-are citizens of the ‘young’ Germanic world which is industrially backward and politically disunited and which is surrounded by the industrially and politically ‘mature’ nations of Europe—England and France.
