Mercantilism vs. Capitalism
Mercantilism is not a strict school of thought but rather a trend in thinking that occurred in the 1500s to 1750s. Basically countries focused on state building, and that a nation’s wealth was reflected primarily by its hold of precious metals (specie). Whichever country controls most of the world’s resources controls the world’s power. This leads to intense competition for the world’s resources. (Zero-sum relationships) (Gold, Silver, Sugar, Tobacco, Land)
Mercantilism views that there are three basic ways to increase state power: a strong army, a strong navy, and a productive economy. To have a productive economy with high employment, it was viewed necessary for a country to have a large hold of specie.
The Mercantilist economic system is composed of three sectors: a manufacturing sector, a rural sector, and foreign colonies. They viewed that economic activity should be highly regulated because if it were let to run on its own, a nation would lose power and wealth by importing too many consumption goods. In effect, many countries of Mercantilist thought monitored their trade balance so that it would always lead to a favorable balance of trade (This is known as bullionism).
One of the main reasons for colonization is based on this mercantilist way of governance. Also one of the reasons that Christopher Columbus was sponsored to sail to the Americas was so that whatever lands may be found or conquered may be stripped of their natural resources.
Government policies were therefore directed towards a nation’s wealth. There were subsidies on exports, and high tariffs placed on consumption goods from abroad. Note that there rarely were tariffs placed on raw materials because they were “worked up” and then exported at higher prices. (I.e. Britain would import cotton from India, process the cloth and then sold it at higher prices.) Governments want to control all areas of profit. States determined routes and times of trading, gave out trade licenses, and controlled the selling of boats.
Navigation policies also were aimed at controlling international trade, and to minimize the outflow of specie. An example of this is the British Navigation Act which excluded foreign ships from carrying merchandise to Britain and its colonies.
Capitalism is a system where the government protects the right to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and property. (Nothing else) Capitalism features the desire for efficiency, and capitalists look for cheap labor, good quality and efficiency. If the laws allow, they will go to any country in the world to produce a good with the cheapest and best quality inputs.

Mercantilism vs. Capitalism is that Mercantilism revolves around the acquisition of resources. It is an economic system that believes the world’s resources to be limited and whoever controls the most of the world’s resources has the most power.
Capitalism is a system where the government protects the right to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and property. (Nothing else) Capitalism features the desire for efficiency, and capitalists look for cheap labor, good quality and efficiency.
