Thesis (Ph.D.)--Harvard University, 1993.

My dissertation argues that the natural historian Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778) undertook a catch-up modernization program to make his post-imperial home, Sweden, an autarky. He planned to render ecological divides economically irrelevant by (1) exploring at home to identify indigenous import substitutes, (2) voyaging abroad to transfer foreign life-forms and technologies, (3) adapting tropical crops into eurythermic cultivars, and then self-seeding feral tramps colonizing Arctic biomes, and (4) contracting domestic consumer demand.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a My dissertation argues that the natural historian Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778) undertook a catch-up modernization program to make his post-imperial home, Sweden, an autarky. He planned to render ecological divides economically irrelevant by (1) exploring at home to identify indigenous import substitutes, (2) voyaging abroad to transfer foreign life-forms and technologies, (3) adapting tropical crops into eurythermic cultivars, and then self-seeding feral tramps colonizing Arctic biomes, and (4) contracting domestic consumer demand.
520 $a Linnaeus thought his modernization program was viable because of how he related nature and the economy. First, he was a natural theologian, viewing nature as Edenic and as designed for man. Second, he was a cameralist, considering economic modernization and global factor specialization to be inversely correlated, and regarding natural history as auxiliary to economics. Because of how he intersected nature and nation, and ultimately because of his hypothesis of botanic transmutationism, Linnaeus believed he could create a mercantile colonial economy within a European state.
