mercantilism
The dominant economic philosophy in Western Europe during the 17th century was mercantilism. This system emphasized the importance of accumulating wealth, primarily gold and silver, through a positive balance of trade, where exports surpassed imports. Governments actively intervened in the economy to promote national interests, often through protectionist policies and colonial expansion. This approach laid the groundwork for the rise of modern capitalism and the later development of free-market economics.
Mercantilism was the dominant school of thought in Europe throughout the late Renaissance and early modern period (from the 15th-18th century).

No. The 1600s is a decade (in fact 1601-1610), and is the first decade of the 17th century.The 16th century is the years 1501-1600. This is because there is no year 0 in the common calendar, so the first century begins in the year 1 AD/CE. Add 1500 and fifteen respectively, and the 16th century starts in 1501. That's how to remember it.Sometimes historians (especially in economic history) speak of a "long sixteenth century" spanning c.1470-1620 (or c.1470-1640),a period distinguished by growing population, rising prices, economic resurgence and the strengthening of national monarchies in Europe and coming between the late medieval crisis (1315-1470) and the "seventeenth-century crisis" (1620/40-1740).
Yin/Yang is not an invention, it is an ancient Chinese philosophy. I do not believe (not sure) there is information on exactly what century it came about.
