Mercantilist Theory and Practice - The History of British Mercantilism (Hardcover)

Mercantilist Theory and Practice: The History of British Mercantilism - 'England is a nation of shopkeepers'. Long before Napolean disdainfully paraphrased Adam Smith, British commerce had become a motor for economic growth and increased state power. This four-volume facsimile edition brings together a range of rare seventeenth- and eighteenth-century documents about the mercantile system. Publications on the role of trade during this period often included practical advice. Their aim was to convince kings, courts, parliaments and politicians as well as the general public of the necessity to support trade and commerce by proper regulation. However, the literature also offers theoretical advice - elements of which have been picked up by later generations of economists.Original source material is supported by extensive new editorial matter, including a general introduction, volume introductions, headnotes, endnotes and a consolidated index.
