manufactured, prices dropped, making exclusive and
hard to make items available to the poor and not
only the rich and elite. Life generally improved,
but the industrial revolution also proved harmful.

More sophisticated proponents of the mercantilist
doctrine understood that the real wealth of a
nation was not its hoard of precious metals, but

trade balance would serve as a stimulus to
economic activity generally, thus enabling the
state to levy more taxes and gain more revenue.
Only a few states that practiced mercantilism,
however, understood this principle. Beginnings of
