Abstract
The Neomercantilists: A Global Intellectual History, by Eric Helleiner (Cornell University Press, 414 pp., $49.95) AFTER decades of progress toward more-liberal trade - albeit in fits and starts - the pendulum in the United States has now swung in a distinctly opposite direction. Neomercantilism, in other words, is an attempt to reconcile the case for trade protectionism with its many downsides that were first elucidated by Smith and subsequently confirmed in both theory and practice. Helleiner attempts to connect the neomercantilists of yore to today's renewed enthusiasm for protectionism - most notably on the part of President Trump - but the evidence presented is thin.
