The British mercantilist writers of the 17th and 18th centuries had
great influence on modern economics. Their writings, especially on
trade and on money, have had an impact both through their ideas and
by shaping the language in which subsequent economic debate took
place. This text demonstrates that the mercantilists were more
subtle and balanced economists than Smith and his followers
alleged. Far from naively confusing wealth and money, the writers
produced sophisticated accouts of the workings of the economic
system which show a complex response to the political economy of
the time. The texts reproduced range from Thomas Mun's "A Discourse
of Trade from England Unto the East..." (1621) to Jacob
Vanderlint's " Money answers to all things..." (1734). Other
writers featured include Edward Misselden, John Cary, Joshua Child,
John Locke, Charles Davenant and Matthew Decker.
