Mercantilism

Edmund Dell

Chapter 11 in The Politics of Economic Interdependence, 1987, pp 168-185 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The mercantilist view of the world is a Hobbesian view. It is a world in which there is no accepted law-giver or law enforcer, no authority capable of maintaining order, by force if necessary, and in which each nation has to look to itself for its own defence. Survival for the nation depends on whatever efforts, whatever power, and whatever diplomacy, it can deploy in its own defence.
