Colbert, who served as the Minister of Finances under King Louis XIV of France, implemented a series of economic reforms that centralized power and strengthened the monarchy. He promoted mercantilist policies to boost the economy, encouraged the growth of industries through subsidies and tariffs, and established a system of state-regulated trade guilds to control production. Colbert's policies helped increase royal revenues, reduce the influence of nobles, and enhance the authority of the French crown.
