Mercantilism in Three Bands
Captions available
The idea
World history teaches mercantilism at 0516 as a policy of finite wealth and favorable balances. United States history meets it at 0008 as the Navigation Acts. Political science names it at 0840 among the postwar order's antagonists; economics answers it at 1436 through Smith and Hume. Four bands, one doctrine.
In practice
Colonies existed to export.
