Talk:Neomercantilism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Well, for better or worse, I have grasped another nettle and Wikified another potentially controversial topic. If the world thinks that I have not maintained neutrality, let the world make changes (hopefully, justified rather than arbitrary). --David91 07:49, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

16th August 2005, 23:08: I changed the end paragraphs, which I think gave too much the idea that free trade was good and neomercantilism bad. From the beginning of the article this is I believe a change of tone. Also, I think any article on subsidies and protectionism as volontary policies should really mention fair trade theories and ideas, so I added a reference to that. (Arnaud L).

Thank you for contributing. I made minor changes to standardise the English and slightly amended the wording about dumping which is always controversial. I hope you feel that I have preserved the spirit of what you intended. -David91 04:12, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Need Work

This article needs considerable work. It seems to be a critique of neo-mercantalism from a "classical liberal" perspective with such terms as statist and with the analysis from that perspective in the final paragraphs. This article should tell the story of neo-mercantilism with criticism at the end, not throughout the entire article. Also, Britain became dominant economically due to its mercantilist policies, and fell behind after the repeal of the Corn Laws to the USA and Germany who followed a neo-mercantilist policy known as the National or American System or simply American School of Hamilton and in Germany List through Bismarck. --Northmeister 04:21, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Restructured elements of this article to be coordinated historically. Still need work in areas of Germany and United States. --Northmeister 15:42, 31 May 2006 (UTC)i

[edit] PoV

Marked as PoV, as parts of it read as neomercantilist propaganda.
