How Did Mercantilism Actually Work? - Canada Explored

How Did Mercantilism Actually Work? In this informative video, we’ll take a closer look at mercantilism and its role in shaping the early economic landscape of Canada. We will explain the key principles of mercantilism, a dominant economic theory from the sixteenth to the mid-nineteenth century, and how it influenced trade practices during the colonial era. By examining the relationship between European powers and their colonies, particularly in the context of the fur trade, we will illustrate how mercantilist policies were applied to extract wealth from Canada.

We will also discuss the implications of mercantilism on Canada’s economic development, highlighting both the advantages and limitations it imposed on local industries. While mercantilism provided certain protections for traders, it also restricted the diversification of the economy. As we connect historical practices to modern economic policies, you’ll gain a better understanding of how these early theories still echo in today’s trade dynamics.
