Explanation:

We can define mercantilism as the economic policy adopted in Europe during the Old Regime. The absolutist government greatly interfered with the economy of the countries. The main objective of these governments was to achieve as much economic development as possible through the accumulation of wealth. The greater the amount of wealth within a kingdom, the greater its prestige, power, and international respect. For this reason, the government promulgates policies in favor of traders, so that wealth could be accumulated through them.
