New Findings Regarding List’s Exile in United States

Eugen Wendler ()

Chapter Chapter 2 in Friedrich List’s Exile in the United States, 2016, pp 11-45 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract During a visit to US, the author followed List’s historical traces and uncovered new and interesting information on this “unknown great American”. List discovered extensive coal deposits in the Blue Mountains and, in 1831, built together with his business partner, Dr. Isaac Hiester, one of the first railways not only in US, but in the world. List is to be considered one of the most important economists of the last centuries, ranking together with Adam Smith (1723−1790) and Karl Marx (1818−1883). Like Smith and Marx, he developed his own economic system—one that enjoys international esteem even today.
