Mercantilism vs. Capitalism
By Edgard & Shea
Mercantilism & Capitalism
Shea H: Capitalism is an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners, rather than by the state.
Capitalism dates all the way back to the middle ages in western europe, the netherlands and england when they first created joint-stock companies driving up commerce and trade.
Capitalism also help increase the food production allowing people to trade different food from around the world like corn and potatoes. It also allowed the trade of animals and because of this it allowed people to live longer lives because they were getting more of the important vitamins that they needed.
Capitalism also changed the world because since most of the trade was coming out america is decreased the the power the britain had and the that america was expanding the trade by expanding their trade partners in the east west. This gave them a natural monetary advantage when compared to their neighboring countries that were not involved with america.
Edgard:Mercantilism the economic theory common in Europe from 16th to the 18th century that trades wealth. They were trying to build economies based on trades. Which meant to send out exports, and that should better than imports which means to send out more goods than to take in more goods. Then they are left with all this silver and gold. But that is only when they send out more imports more of the GOODS, then they are left with more wealth.
So what?
Now What?
We can use this information that we have learned to improve our world by using this information to learn where trade all started at and who was the most donate at first and who fell because a trade! We can also use this to learn from our mistakes by learning what not to do to keep the country from falling to trade like Britain did when america became dominant in trade Britain started to struggle.
