Dr. Grant: What exactly was mercantilism?

Laura Kathryn said...

Dr. Grant,
I am taking 'American History since 1877' in college this semester and I have an outside reading assignment - 250+ pages on a certain topic; I chose 'The signifigance of the frontier in American History.' Do you have any recommended readings? Have you written a book on the subject yourself?
Appreciate it -Kathryn Green
ps. see you in Nashville! Lord willing I'll be running my first 1/2 marathon.

Hyatt also has a fantastic podcast on the Church Councils, though some of his teaching is a little stinging to us Prots.

Wow, that marathon rookie site is great! I sure wish it had been around twenty years ago. . . but, alas, I'm a rookie again.

Matt: Mercantilism is a combine of big business and big government. It is very similar to what is today called "enterprise socialism" or "fascism."
