slide-11
SLIDE 11
  • A shift from the principles of

mercantilism to capitalism.

  • Mercantilism is typified by the idea of all

the wealth of the world is in one circle.

  • Trade is zero sum
  • Trade benefits the mother country
  • The real goal behind all of this is to

acquire money

slide-12
SLIDE 12
  • In capitalism we have a different view of

the world.

  • The view of wealth is transformed.
  • Wealth is relative, not absolute.
  • Free trade also means little role for

government.

  • Moving from trade as a zero sum gain to

trade being mutually beneficial

Take up the White Man's burden, Send forth the best ye breed Go bind your sons to exile, to serve your captives' need; To wait in heavy harness, On fluttered folk and wild — Your new-caught, sullen peoples, Half-devil and half-child.

slide-38
SLIDE 38

Take up the White Man's burden, In patience to abide, To veil the threat of terror And check the show of pride; By open speech and simple, An hundred times made plain To seek another's profit, And work another's gain.
