In light of the debate over H1B visas, we should be aware of a rich German nationalist economic school of thought articulated in the nineteenth century in direct opposition to the Anglo economic "free-trade" perspective, which favors open borders and currently dominates the Western world.
Germany became the foremost scientific, philosophical, artistic, industrial, and military nation from 1850 until mid-1900s thanks in large measure to the policies proposed by this nationalist school to protect Germany from Anglo free-trade ideas that constituted a threat to Germany's identity by keeping it in a state of dependency selling its raw materials and buying finished goods from England.
Examine the major books on the history of economic ideas, and you will notice that they are singularly focused on the English/French contributions, as well as American contributions, to economic theory, with the German school of economics ignored or relegated to short chapters/sections.
There is no denying that the English originated the major schools of economic thought (mercantilism, free trade school, Marxist "critique" of political economy, marginalist, institutionalism, and Keynesianism).
But there was a German school, the "Romantics", as they are still called by the British, and which continues to be summarily dismissed as "backward-looking" and "mystical". The major thinkers of this school, Adam Muller (1779-1829) and Friedrich List (1789-1846), saw that the economic thought that Britain and France had originated amounted to the disaggregation of nations or communities into atomistic or isolated individuals, as the units of economic decision making.
For these economists, searching for a logically coherent science of economics with universal validity, without considering the particulars of each nation, and treating citizens as faceless producers and consumers, as if they had no bond with a national community, was a mistake.
The Germans accepted the Aristotelian doctrine that man is inconceivable outside the State, that no man is an island but interwoven from birth with a national culture. The State is not, as Locke and Smith saw it, a conglomeration of individuals seeking their self-interest but a reflection of the supreme need of man to belong in a community.
A Nation-State can't be concerned only with material production but must concern itself with the totality of life, with the cultural well being of the members of the State. The factors of production are not merely "land, labor and capital" but also the "spiritual capital" of the nation, its language, heritage, traditions.
The duty of the State is to utilize the economy to augment national wealth and power, but this "wealth" is not strictly physical, it is also spiritual. The duty of the State is to awaken national pride, the feeling of oneness with the nation.
The wealth of a nation, its capital, includes as well the contribution made by past generations to the present race, the arts, the constitution, the laws, the customs, writing, memories.
But this school, which dominated German thought and economic policy in the second half of the 1800s to the mid- 20th century ---------- would be discarded as "fascist" and replaced by Anglo-American-Jewish economic thought in the post WWII era.
The decimation of the Germans, and all European ethnic identities, is a direct product of the dominance of this Anglo-American-Jewish economic school.
The West now needs a Pan-European economic doctrine to protect itself from immigration ethnocide.
