and middle class thought they had it hard. They
made between $ 2, 500 and $ 100, 000 a year.

fed from who they were servants for, or what they
grew themselves. African Americans had two strikes
against them-ext...

changed to the National Socialist German Workers
Party and in the summer of 1921 his talents as an

World War Ii 19 Th Century

More sophisticated proponents of the mercantilist
doctrine understood that the real wealth of a
nation was not its hoard of precious metals, but
its ability to produce. They correctly saw that

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

is kept near to the people. The people have the
right to choose and judge who they will and will
not elect into office. The presidential term limit
