Mercantilism was an economic theory that dominated European economic policies in the 16th to 18th centuries. It promoted government intervention in the economy to increase national wealth through a favorable balance of trade, accumulation of gold and silver, and development of colonies. Mercantilist policies included tariffs, subsidies, and colonial expansion to achieve these goals.
