What economic practices that existed under manorialism would not exist under capitalism?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Answer choices would be helpful here.

However, the general difference between mercantilism and capitalism is that mercantilism is more restrictive than capitalism. Mercantilism is the economic policy that a metropole should have a number of colonies that provide it material wealth, unrefined resources, and a market for its goods. As a result, according to mercantilism, the colonies were required to engage in two general behaviors: (1) The colonies were locked into exclusive trade between the colonies and the metropole and were not allowed to trade with any other nation or colony. (2) No manufactures or complex goods could be made in the colonial territory. As a result the colonies would provide wealth to the metropole by trading their natural resources for less than they would be worth and by buying manufactures for much more money.

As a result, entrepreneurial colonists that wanted to make manufactures or to trade with other parties engaged in smuggling. This kind of smuggling disappears significantly when trade restrictions are lifted.
