Mercantilism in England emphasized state control over the economy, promoting the accumulation of wealth through trade and colonial expansion, which led to the establishment of a vast empire. This system laid the groundwork for early capitalism by encouraging private enterprise and competition. As capitalism developed, it shifted focus from state-driven wealth accumulation to individual entrepreneurship, fostering innovation and industrialization. Ultimately, these economic shifts transformed England into a leading global power and changed its social and economic structures significantly.
