Suggestions for Improvement

 * 1) The article does not explain how or if "economic nationalism" is different from Mercantilism.
 * 2) The article make no mention of the economic policies of Nazi Germany and fascist states of the 1920s-40s; I think the motives, goals and policies of those nations have been described by some scholars as clear examples of "economic nationalism."
 * 3) The article does not mention that Stephen K. Bannon, White House Chief Strategist to President Trump, has declared himself in a recent interview to be an "economic nationalist."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Credidimus2 (talk • contribs) 21:23, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
 * "The article does not explain how or if "economic nationalism" is different from Mercantilism." - that's because it's not. It's just mercantilism dressed up in new clothes. This article is just original research crapola.Volunteer Marek (talk) 19:12, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Closely related, but different enough for a second article. Economic nationalism is a term for something that importing countries view as an undesirable reaction to inflationary pressures in exporting countries, from when we understand "mercantilism" better and have new financial "tech" (paper money, monetary policy and central banks). The concepts overlap (tariffs, reducing imports, increasing exports, accumulating metallic currency), but it's not the same calculus without the metallic currency when we can expand the money supply without inflation. Expanding the money supply and contracting real supply was proven to be a self-defeating fallacy, from which mankind needed to be protected lest it should sicken itself, so some people started exporting gold, against the conventional dogma. They went overboard resulting in a [great deflation. The strong implication being that economic nationalism is the risk in the paper currency age, exporting countries reduce their exports to combat inflationary pressures (not increase them as mercantilist), creating an inflation in the importing countries.
