What is the difference between mercantilism and imperialism?

Imperialism describes a type of power relation when one politically entity is subordinate to another. Imperialism can take many forms since there are different ways to make countries subservient to other countries (e.g.) military forces; money). Mercantilism is an economic system in which the purpose of economic development and trade is only to benefit the home country. Mercantilists believed trade to be a zero-sum game (i.e.) if someone is getting trade, someone must be losing it) and that the most important resource to hold was gold (and they encouraged getting as much of it as possible). Mercantilism and imperialism overlapped each other during the first wave of European imperialism in the Americas. European powers developed colonies to extract resources and create markets to export goods to.


Is the European Union a colonial power?

What are monotonic preferences?

Monotonic Preference is an assumption that consumers would prefer more rather than less of the goods they consume. If we compare two consumption bundles and one of the bundles has more of all of the goods under consideration, that bundle is preferred by the consumer. For example, if bundle (X1, X2) is 5 cookies and 3 cupcakes and bundle (Y1, Y2) is 7 cookies and 5 cupcakes, the assumption of monotonicity tells us that bundle (Y1,Y2) is the more preferred bundle. This is so because there are more of both goods. This assumption would also hold if (Y1,Y2) contained 5 cookies and 5 cupcakes. In this case, there is the same amount of one good, but there is more of the other good.
