Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a 17th-century discourse on trade and commerce by an anonymous author. The author believed that the beginning of wisdom was to give thought to the end of one's actions and to prioritize what will ultimately be executed. To this end, the author stressed the importance of trade for the prosperity of a nation. They argued that trade not only enriches individuals but also supports the state and provides national security. The author provided examples from history to illustrate how nations such as Tyre, Sidon, Venice, and others flourished through maritime commerce. They also highlighted how Spain and Portugal had acquired vast territories through their overseas trade ventures. However, the author emphasized that trade must be conducted with order and discipline to avoid the chaos that would result from unrestrained freedom. The author argued that a regulated trade system, enforced by chartered companies like the Merchant Adventurers, prevented fraud, maintained quality standards, and provided dispute resolution mechanisms, all of which were necessary for trade to flourish. In the author's view, the benefits of a regulated trade system far outweighed the perceived advantages of freedom and deregulation. This book offers valuable insights into the economic thought and trade practices of the 17th century and remains relevant for understanding the ongoing debate between free trade and government regulation.
