# Mercantile System
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition
|
||||
|
||||
An economic doctrine that seeks to enrich the nation by promoting exports
|
||||
and restricting imports, based on the belief that national wealth consists
|
||||
of accumulated precious metals and that a favourable balance of trade is
|
||||
essential for prosperity.
|
||||
|
||||
## Source Chapter
|
||||
|
||||
Book IV, Chapter 5
|
||||
|
||||
## Context
|
||||
|
||||
Smith presents the mercantile system as the intellectual framework that
|
||||
justifies bounties and other trade restrictions. He systematically
|
||||
criticizes its core assumptions about wealth creation and trade balance.
