Mercantilism
Mercantilism is an economic theory, dominant in Europe from the 16th to the 18th century, which held that a nation's wealth and power were best served by increasing exports and collecting precious metals like gold and silver. This doctrine promoted extensive government regulation of the national economy to achieve a 'favorable' balance of trade. Key policies included imposing tariffs on imports, forbidding colonies from trading with other nations, and monopolizing markets with subsidized companies.
