Mercantilism is an economic system, mainly used by European countries in the 1600's-1800's, to make a nation richer by controlling the trade and production completely. In this system, a country can grow, produce, and sell all of its goods inside it's own country. This arrangement did greatly increase the cash flow a government would be getting. Because there was no competition for the businesses, they had a monopoly on the product and could boost prices to the highest degree. Mercantilism was a terrific deal for the matured government, but for the colonists, mercantilism was quite a pain. Mercantilism itself is a good idea. The country benefits by having a more stable and richer economy and treasury. But at the same time, there was a downfall. This arrangement creates a dependence on the producer of raw materials. This is good for the producer but not for the manufacturer.
