England's Treasure By Forraign Trade by Thomas Mun
Or, The Ballance of our Forraign Trade is the Rule of our Treasure
The book is a seminal work in early economic thought, advocating for the mercantilist theory that a nation's wealth is best increased through a positive balance of trade with other countries. It emphasizes the importance of exporting more goods than are imported to accumulate wealth in the form of precious metals. The author argues that this approach will strengthen the national economy and enhance the country's power and prosperity. The work outlines practical strategies for achieving this balance, including the promotion of domestic industries and the regulation of imports and exports.
