Abstract
Abstract The free-trade policy that has been dominant since the late 1960s has been criticized from across the political spectrum. Policymakers are starting to turn against the idea that the government can and should do nothing about trade. This article examines U.S. trade policy from the perspective of Friedrich List’s work The National System of Political Economy and argues that it is time for the U.S. to reexamine how trade has been conducted for the last 40 years.
自20世纪60年代末以来一直占主导地位的自由贸易政策受到了来自各个政治派别的批评。政策制定者开始反对政府在贸易问题上不能也不应该无所作为的观点。本文从弗里德里希·李斯特(Friedrich List)的著作《国家政治经济学体系》(the National System of Political Economy)的角度审视了美国的贸易政策,并认为美国是时候重新审视过去40年的贸易运作方式了。
