August 6, 1789 – November 30, 1846
Georg Friedrich List was a prominent 19th-century German economist who developed the "National System," which can be understood today as a National System of Innovation. A forefather of the German historical school of economics, he is recognized as an original theorist of European unity, whose ideas formed the basis for the European Economic Community. List's primary contribution lay in advocating for state intervention and protectionism to foster national industrial development and competitiveness. His work significantly influenced economic thought and policy across various nations, laying groundwork for modern concepts of economic development and international cooperation.
