One advantage of mercantilism for British colonists was the guaranteed market for their goods within the British Empire. This system provided a steady demand for colonial products, such as tobacco and sugar, which helped stimulate economic growth and development in the colonies. Additionally, colonists benefited from the protection of the British navy, safeguarding their trade routes and ensuring the security of their exports. Overall, mercantilism fostered a sense of economic stability and opportunity for British colonists.

Mercantilism focuses on accumulating wealth through trade surpluses and government intervention, emphasizing the importance of exports over imports to increase a nation's gold and silver reserves. Absolute advantage, proposed by Adam Smith, refers to a country's ability to produce a good more efficiently than another country, while comparative advantage, introduced by David Ricardo, highlights that countries should specialize in producing goods where they have a lower opportunity cost, even if one country has an absolute advantage in all goods. Thus, while mercantilism stresses national wealth and trade balance, absolute and comparative advantages emphasize production efficiency and specialization for mutual benefit in trade.
