Drawing on historical events, this book explains and evaluates economic nationalism, or mercantilism. Since every citizen is shaped by their country’s politics and economy, understanding the mindsets and mechanisms that have led to today’s way of life is of the utmost importance. Under mercantilism, the state plays a central role in administering and regulating economic life. The central bank plays a crucial role. Historian and theologian Dr. habil. Martin Erdmann analyzes this economic system from a Christian perspective. Readers of the book will view politics, the banking system, and media coverage differently. The book raises awareness about the importance of not allowing oneself to be co-opted. The book encourages readers to rethink their personal approach to wealth and their relationship with the state.
