Yes, yes, the part that does what he wants. While Friday was still so warm that one could be nice tan at the Saale-shore and on Sunday even 20 degrees in the Shadow, ruled it was very cold today. So I naturally grabbed my walk to the library one at a screen and lo and behold, while I waited for the tram, it was windy and the sky darker.
Once in the library I looked for a corner with a table for myself and read committed - but not very long. From outside, suddenly sounded a prolonged thunder inside me that I held at first for artificially created by humans. But still came in strong wind and suddenly it started to rain, then hail - but as extreme as I had not seen since the great storm of Halle in 2008. There were also then very bright flashes of lightning and thunder, who brought the whole library to wobble. That was was very impressive and to read no longer think this storm just fascinates me too much. It lasted only about a quarter of an hour, then had to unload all the stress, but it rained on for a time, even when the sun shone again on my table.
Then I could but still focus and was very excited that my search was going well. I had found by chance in a standard textbook for political science a reference to Friedrich List, the beginning of the 19th Century developed his own theory on economic policy, which builds on that of Adam Smith and the same criticized. Emich This leads to the idea to make one aspect of Smith's theory and then explain with a counter-position list, in order to draw conclusions. The thick tome of list reads very quickly, fortunately, he is also clearly written, as well as that of Smith. Thankfully I found a little secondary literature that focused exactly, for example, a collection of lectures and discussions of the meeting of the library association in 1989. There I also learned a little about the circumstances of the library and Germany where he lived.
is very interesting in my view, the aspect that Adam Smith is a defender of free trade. may his eyes all people and all nations only benefit if there are no customs restrictions, etc. there, then spread the wealth already by itself. The nations themselves should stay out of the economy, they are responsible only for security, justice and education / training. List of free trade, however, looks critical, since it works only where the nations are at approximately the same level of development. To gain access to leading England at that time, for example, Germany should hold on to first protective tariffs. This different view is based on a different assumption about the cause of wealth. Adam Smith has been so closely with this cause in "Wealth of Nations" (a Today shortened, therefore misleading title because it actually "On the nature and cause of wealth of nations" is). He finds the work, productive work. For him, the production of exchange values (ie, goods) centrally and also (as JB Say it developed) the accumulation of the very values. Adam Smith represents a theory of values. In contrast, says List, this is too superficial, that Adam Smith with his interesting idea of the division of labor but has become renowned worldwide, yet the question of the cause is not far enough left. List is in fact also the question of what causes labor. For it is not productive work, in terms of establishing the cause of exchange values of wealth, but the production of productive forces. By this he means that it is vital that people learn that science and education will be promoted. Not the country, the exchange value accumulates, is rich, but the one that has a mass of productive forces. Exchange values through wars, etc. be destroyed, but as long as a lot will remain productive forces, the wealth of the nation be prepared quickly.
is thus the nation itself in two ways becoming more important than Adam Smith: On the one hand, but it is to intervene and pursue an active economic policy, other, it is fundamentally responsible for ensuring that they meet their future by promoting education and science.
Interesting is also the allegation of list that Adam Smith for his free trade postulate a world state of society requires that it must first be / should. If the fruits of free trade, which Smith describes to bear, this requires a universal union of all the nations of the world, so cunning, this situation was not yet achieved. This in turn is linked to its protective tariff bid.
All this stuff I need to do the housework now auswälzen on 15 pages. How exactly should I do that, I do not know yet, above all, I have no idea what I said in the introduction to write - what relevance for this issue? Has anyone got an idea? The best way to Friday, because I have to make.
