What were Mendeleev's ideas on national economy?
My conception of the national economy was fundamentally tied to scientific principles and practical application. I advocated for a structured organization, much like the periodic table organizes elements. This involved identifying key industries, understanding their interdependencies, and promoting their growth through informed policy. My writings explored how to harness natural resources effectively and build a strong industrial base, arguing that a nation's strength lay in its productive capacity and its ability to innovate.
