On Nationalist Economics:

One Nationalist Economic Axiom: 'Each Nation Should Be Its Own Best Market First.'


Among other the important Nationalist Economic Principles:
Economic Composition :  the types & variety of economic activity or enterprise in your country.  Most-Highly Productive activity is Primary; as contrasted with Vice which is counterproductive/degenerate /net-systemic-value-loss behavior (e.g. gambling, drug-use, inordinate entertainment ...) [That's Right ! Nationalist Economics is not "value-neutral".]
Orders of Economic Activity : Independent Agriculture, Mining, and Manufacturing ( & maybe recycling and repair) are Primary, or  'most highly value-adding' . Transport/Logistics , Wholesaling, Retail Sales, etc. are Secondary or so. Finance , Litigation, Entertainment, Advertizing etc., ? Hard-to-say, but Tertiary at best.
Economic Circulation : the ways and extent of 'flow/circulation'  of value or money in your economy/society. High/Wide Circulation means a high percentage of your citizens are participating in the 'economic flow/ circulation', sufficient for a couple to raise a family with 3 or more children on one person's work income.
Ford 'high wage' Principle : Henry Ford's doctrine, upon unilaterally greatly raising his company's workers' wages, that it is important for people who make the product to be able to afford to buy the product.
Say's Law : Jean Baptiste Say's doctrine that 'Supply induces demand'. Or , for example, that it is Henry Ford's creation &; offer of a cool product, like a Model T Ford, that induces the demand for it. I.e., people weren't just milling about the streets with their horses and buggies, expressing their 'latent demand' to each other in casual conversation for a Ford, prior to Ford and his fellow workers making and offering the car.
Same goes for Wozniak & Jobs creating/offering the Apple II etc., and Elon Musk creating/offering PayPal service and SpaceX rocketry.


We favor both a healthy Market Economy and a healthy Commons, each reinforcing the other.

We favor Localism, Work Co-ops, and Economic Patriotism; we oppose Economic Treason, Predatory Trade, and Parasitism.

We oppose inordinate 'state-ism' , corporatism, unnecessary centralization, and coercive socialism.

Q: What tend to be Nationalist's favorite industrial/economic sectors? A: Recycling, Repair, Independent Farming, and Eco-Manufacturing. And Work Co-ops always.

Q: What tends to be a Nationalist's favorite architecture and construction? A: Restoration/rehab.

We favor a Constitutional Democratic Republic, and an informed, engaged, sovereign citizenry, with the rights of initiative referendum, and recall. Legitimate Accountable Government ...it's a good thing.
