Mercantilism is an economic theory that emphasizes the role of the state in managing the economy to increase national wealth. Three key aspects include the belief in a finite amount of wealth, leading to competition among nations for resources; the importance of a favorable balance of trade, where exports exceed imports; and the promotion of government intervention through tariffs, subsidies, and regulations to protect domestic industries and enhance national power.
