Friedrich List and the Economic Fate of Tropical Countries
考察李斯特关于热带国家作为初级产品出口国的观点，并探讨19世纪末至20世纪中期拉丁美洲（特别是巴西）对其思想的接受情况，判断当地读者是否注意到李斯特认为幼稚产业保护不适用于热带地区。
The goal of this article is twofold. It examines how Friedrich List’s interpretation of the economic dynamics of “tropical” countries (countries located in tropical climates) as nonindustrial exporters of primary commodities fits in his analytical framework and accords with his emphasis on the explanatory value of environmental factors and on the role of colonialism in the development of “temperate” countries (countries located in temperate climates). This is followed by a selective investigation of the reception of List’s ideas in some Latin American countries (particularly Brazil) between the late nineteenth and mid-twentieth centuries, as an attempt to establish whether List’s readers in those countries took any notice of his point that the infant-industry argument did not apply to tropical areas and that such economies should not embark on an industrialization process.
