The Lure of Economic Nationalism addresses an important topic, namely, the continued appeal of economic nationalism. It places economic nationalism in both historical and contemporary contexts. It begins with a historical consideration of mercantilism and the writings of Friedrich List, considering both from multiple perspectives in economic history and policy and international relations. It then turns to the political psychology of zero-sum thinking, its role as a heuristic device but also its significant limitations.

The book considers both the aggressive trade policy of the Trump Administration in the United States and the Brexit process in the United Kingdom. It also advocates for the alternative to economic nationalism in the form of a rules-based, multilateral trading system and the World Trade Organization. It argues that going beyond zero-sum outcomes is better suited to address current problems. It considers the rising tides of ethnonationalism and the alternative of civic nationalism. It even addresses economic nationalism in the recent COVID-19 pandemic and multilateral approaches to pandemic preparedness.

The Lure of Economic Nationalism is written in an accessible manner and draws deeply from research in economics and political science. It will be of interest to policymakers, economists, political scientists and to the informed public.

Industry Reviews

Kenneth Reinert's insightful analysis reveals the resurgence of economic nationalism in a post-World War II world that once favored multilateralism. This return, reinforced by the COVID-19 pandemic, risks economic welfare, global health, and international relations, exacerbating ethnic tensions as seen in the current Ukraine crisis.- Nature

"The state has an important role in economic development as demonstrated by successfully devel-oped countries such as South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore. However, when the state pursues eco-nomic nationalism outside this developmental context, economic welfare can be set back. Kenneth A. Reinert's The Lure of Economic Nationalism vividly illustrates this danger." - Yong-Shik Lee, Di-rector and Professorial Fellow, The Law and Development Institute

A beeline from Hirschman's forgotten book to today's perilous plight of multilateralism. Kenneth Reinert's rigorous analysis is matched only by his erudition. And it is a page turner too." - Petros C. Mavroidis, Columbia Law School
