El mercantilismo

No 2004-234, Documentos de Trabajo / Working Papers from Departamento de Economía - Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú

Abstract: Although, as a general rule, textbooks of international economics do not deal with the theme of mercantilism, leaving it for the texts of history of economic analysis, we think that it is important to study such school in a course of pure theory of international trade, not only because of the long period of time it covers, but also because it has been the only economic school whose main arguments are related to international trade and policy. In this short essay we try to emphasize the complexity of mercantilism, treating it not only as an economic school with both commercial and monetary doctrines, but also as a political system, and to do that we resort to authors such as Eli Heckscher, J.M. Keynes, and Joseph Schumpeter.
