According to Istvan Hont,jealousy of trade is a mutation of Hobbes's jealousy of state in the field of international competition when the suc-cess in international trade has become the core of state affairs.From the 18th century,when the interdependence of politics and economy emerged to be the core issue in po-litical theory,to Karl Marx,the solutions proposed by western thinkers to deal with the problem of jealousy of trade can be divided into six modes:the modes of agri-cultural state,closed commercial state,a balance of trade powers,long-term superi-ority of wealthy nations,European union,and communism.They make a continuum along which we can see the gradual transition from politics-dominated solutions to those controlled by economic logic.All the six conceptual solutions are instructive for us to understand the political and economic dilemmas in the world nowadays.
