Mercantilism as an economic theory began to take shape in the late 16th century, around the 1500s, and became prominent in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries. It emphasized the importance of accumulating wealth, primarily gold and silver, through a favorable balance of trade and government intervention in the economy. The theory was largely associated with the rise of nation-states and colonial expansion during that period.
