The great, neglected German economist Friedrich List, a student of Hamilton’s work, laid out an innovation roadmap for his own country in 1841, in his National System of Political Economy. It has been used repeatedly: by Japan beginning in the last decades of the nineteenth century; by the Asian Tigers in the second half of the twentieth century; and now by China.
1841年，被人忽视的伟大德国经济学家、汉密尔顿的门徒弗雷德里希·李斯特（Friedrich List）在其著作《国家政治经济制度》（National System of Political Economy）为其祖国勾画和创新路线图。它被反复使用：19世纪最后一个十年的日本、二十世纪下半叶的东亚诸小龙，以及现在的中国。
