Economic Policies of the Nguyen Dynasty: Lessons for Modern Vietnam

“Sell distant relatives, buy close neighbors,” an old Vietnamese proverb, begs the question: Does this adage still hold true in today’s era of economic integration? Examining the economic policies of the Nguyen Dynasty, a period marked by both turbulence and debate, offers valuable lessons for contemporary economic development, particularly in the transportation and logistics sector.

The Nguyen Dynasty Economy: A Period of Stagnation?

Nguyen Dynasty Economy

The Nguyen Dynasty, Vietnam’s last feudal dynasty, witnessed a period of significant historical upheaval and fluctuating economic policies. While agriculture remained the economic cornerstone, alongside the development of handicrafts and trade, Vietnam lagged behind its regional neighbors during this period.

Shortcomings of the Nguyen Economic Model

According to history professor Nguyen Van A, author of “Economic History of Vietnam,” the Nguyen Dynasty missed crucial economic development opportunities due to:

• Conservative and isolationist policies: A reluctance to trade with the West hindered the adoption of advanced technologies.
• Focus on agricultural development: This occurred while the world was undergoing the First Industrial Revolution.
• Complex tax system: This created obstacles for production and trade.

Complex Tax System of the Nguyen Dynasty

The economic policies of the Nguyen Dynasty remain a subject of debate among historians. Some argue that these policies were the primary cause of Vietnam’s lagging development compared to other countries in the region.
