Discuss concepts associated with mercantilism demonstrating key policies that a country would
implement if they were to apply such a theory. What is the liberal critique of mercantilism?
Solution
It was counterpart of political nationalism and argued for it. It exhibited aspirations of rising
merchant capitalists to whom strong state appeared necessary for their own protection. Abundant
money supply was necessary for them. IT AIMED AT STATE POWER AND UNIFICATION
OF COUNTRY. WEALTH OF NATIONS INTERESTED THEM. IT ARGUED FOR
ENHANCEMENT OF STATE POWER THROUGH ECONOMIC MEANS. THIS WAS
ACHIEVED FROM WEALTH AND ECONOMIC POWER OF NATION. WEALTH IN
ABSENCE OF MINES COULD BE ACHIEVED THROUGH BALANCE OF PAYMENT
SURPLUS. NATION MUST HAVE WELL EQUIPPED ARMY AND NAVY TO DEFEND
ITSELF AND TO PROTECT ITS INTERESTS IN OUTER WORLD. THEY EQUATED
MONEY WITH WEALTH AND FOR THEM ONLY WAY TO ACQUIRE SPECIE WAS
THROUGH BOP SURPLUS.. THEY VIEWED MONEY SUPPLY AS WORKING CAPITAL
FOR TRADING ACTIVITIES. THEY VIEWED FALLING PRICES UNFAVOURABLY AND
ACCORDING TO THEM RISING PRICES WERE STIMULATING TO INDUSTRY.
ACCORDING TO THEM STATE SHOULD HELP FOR FAVOURABLE Bop.
From the proceeding discussion it is clear mercantalists will argue for govt intervention in
economy. Other policy conclusions will be strong govt and army, acquisition of colonies,
maximum exports and minimum imports to achieve bop surplus, mercantalism proper also
argued for such imports (rawmaterials) which led to exports of greater value, Rising prices and
profits etc
The liberals argued that beggar thy neighbour attitude will harm even our own country. They
argued for trade based on comparative and absolute advantage which benefits every country.
They are against state intervention prescribed by mercantalists and believe in laissez-faire. For
them rising prices are harmful.
