Mercantilism

About this model

Thomas Mun, England's Treasure by Forraign Trade, 1630. Exports bring gold in and imports send gold out; tariffs cut imports and bounties lift exports; the treasury counts the nation's gold as its wealth. A teaching model: it keeps only this core loop and leaves out everything else a real economy has.
