Descripción

8vo. pp. 11 p.l., 290. contemporary bds. (scattered light foxing, old library stamp on verso of title). First Edition of Fichte s major work on state intervention in the national economy and his most sustained attempt to apply idealistic philosophy to political economy. Fichte himself regarded it as his best, most thought-through work. "Fichte advocated…economic autarchy, the closed commercial state. A nation should balance its economic supply and demand within its own social economy. To prevent any disturbance of that balance by unregulated imports and exports, all foreign trade should be directed by the government. By avoiding both surpluses and scarcity, and using the labour of all to provide for the needs of all, the state can wipe out unemployment and poverty and assure to each citizen the conditions for humane fulfillment." (R.A.Tsanoff in the Encyc. of Philosophy) "Fichte claimed that Europe could not transform itself into a peaceful federation of constitutional republics unless economic life could be disentangled from the competitive dynamics of relations between states, and he asserted that this disentanglement required transitioning to a planned and largely self-sufficient national economy, made possible by a radical monetary policy. Fichte's ideas have resurfaced with nearly every crisis of globalization from the Napoleonic wars to the present, and his book remains a uniquely systematic and complete discussion of what John Maynard Keynes later termed "national self-sufficiency."
