Best Answer

Colbert's aim was to make France economically self-sufficient. One of the most successful practitioners of mercantalism, he encouraged the growth of industry through subsidies and tariff protection, rigidly regulated the qualities and prices of manufactured and agricultural products, tried to break down trade barriers within France, initiated a vigorous road-building program, and restricted the use of Natural Resources.
