In hmolscience, Friedrich List (1789-1846) was a German-born American economist noted for his 1841 economic model—similar in theme to Hermann Gossen (1853)—according to which “force” was the central concept in his model of the economy; his ideas, supposedly, were influential to Henry Carey. [1] List, supposedly, had some type of economic social gravitation theory (Ѻ) arguing that group actions could be studied in terms of their distance from each other, their mass, and their consequent attraction or repulsion.
