However, I've never heard of a country that has taxes on exports. On the other hand imports usually aren't taxed, but tariffed. A tax comes later in form of value added tax for example. Countries go to lengths to protect their domestic industry by forming all sorts of constrains on imports. But in the end this doesn't actually help the country.<br />Exports on the other hand are best perpetuated by having strong domestic production.

Much of Mercan...Hi Vuk,<br /><br />Thanks for this article. <br /><br />Much of Mercantilism seems to focus on tariffs on imports. How about encouraging exports? Does this count as Mercantilism? I ask because if a country has a rate of tax on imports and exports which is equal. If they were to then reduce the tax on exports in order to encourage exports but not on imports they would be in affect creating a higher tariff on imports. I for one would like to see free trade for both imports and exports but if you cannot have that would a lower tax on exports be better than nothing?<br /><br />Thanks<br />ShropshireLadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02475092155475156722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3448927642739850334.post-37265707212550619302013-12-27T11:47:42.502+00:002013-12-27T11:47:42.502+00:00John, I don't think it was the same merchants ...John, I don't think it was the same merchants that had monopoly power that decided to take down the Crown. After all, they were enjoying their position very much and had no reason to change it. It was the spontaneous rise of many other merchants and manufacturers that were getting fed up with how the state was disenfranchising them.

Funny how when times are hard everyone reverts to the mistaken beliefs of the past.

I do however have a quick food for thought. Consider the following: the mercantilist system gave a good head start to the rich countries in the West. It was the merchants in England that brought down the Crown's power. Most of these merchants gained wealth, or better yet were given it by the state issuing licences and creating monopolies. This could mean that the state actually initiated its own demise, considering the events that followed afterwards in the 18th and 19th century... <br />John Turpinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03146853575797586917noreply@blogger.com
