Principles of Mercantilism
• Might of a country depends on gaining surpluses of gold and silver
![Page 12: 4 /30 Focus:](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681642b550346895dd5eccd/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Principles of Mercantilism
• A main goal is the creation of a favorable balance of trade – Exporting more
goods than you import
![Page 13: 4 /30 Focus:](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681642b550346895dd5eccd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Principles of Mercantilism
• The purpose of colonies: – Ship raw materials to
the “mother country” (colonial power)
– Buy finished goods from the colonial power
