Mercantilism | An in-depth history of European imperial economics

What is Mercantilism and why was it so prevalent in Early modern Europe?

We will also cover how mercantilists economics viewed things like trade, and domestic economics, and we will later finish the video by covering the underlying ideological streams that Mercantilism is associated with as well as the fall of Mercantilism.
