Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This thought-provoking book explores the fundamental fallacies of free trade, challenging the assumptions that have dominated economic theory for centuries. The author argues that the orthodox approach, rooted in the concept of individualist laissez-faire, fails to account for the complex interactions within a community and the crucial role of the national capital, which encompasses not just financial assets but also human energies and social organization. The author provides a detailed critique of the free trade arguments, demonstrating how they rely on a confusion between individual and national capital. This distinction is vital, as the national capital is not a fixed quantity but rather grows through the exercise of the nation's capabilities. Thus, restrictions on free trade can stimulate economic growth by fostering new industries and developing national aptitudes. The book delves into the historical context of free trade, tracing its origins to the political philosophy of individualism that emerged in the 18th century. The author contends that the enduring influence of this philosophy has blinded economists to the limitations of free trade and the potential benefits of government intervention in the economy. Overall, this book offers a compelling critique of the free trade orthodoxy, providing a fresh perspective on the role of the state in economic development. Its insights are essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of international trade and the challenges facing the world economy today.
