MERCANTILISM READING PASSAGE Mercantilism is all about trade and how trade is conducted .Mercantilism is a system of government controlled trade. It is not a system of free trade.

MERCANTILISM READING PASSAGE FREE TRADE OR CAPITALISM: In a system of free trade or capitalism, there are laws that control trade. These laws are set by the government. But you, as the owner of the goods, can decide how much you are going to charge for your goods, and you can decide (for the most part) where you can sell your goods.

MERCANTILISM READING PASSAGE THE MERCANTILE SYSTEM: In the mercantile system, what you can charge for goods and where you can sell goods is controlled by the government. It's a take it or leave it system that benefits the government but does not necessarily benefit you. You have no choice and no say in what you can charge or what you must pay for goods or where you can ship or how you ship. The entire system of trade is controlled by the government.

MERCANTILISM READING PASSAGE The different between mercantilism and free trade has everything to do with who controls the price and the destination of both imports and exports. In free trade or capitalism, control is mostly in the hands of the trader. In mercantilism, control is totally in the hands of the government.

TRIANGULAR-TRADE MINI-READING PASSAGE THE TRIANGLE TRADE: In your study of the 13 colonies, you'll see the phrase triangle trade. The triangle trade is simply an historic name for a route shaped like a triangle. In colonial times, ships sailed from the New World to England, then on to Africa and back again to the New World, creating a shipping route in the shape of a triangle. The triangle trade route was the most cost effective way that the English government could find to move goods with total control. One of the goods the triangle trade moved was people captured in Africa to deliver as slaves to the New World.
