35 INTERACTIONS: TRADE AND COMMERCE 1750 - 1914
MODERN ERA INTERACTIONS: TRADE AND COMMERCE

36 COMMERCIAL IDEOLOGIES IN 1750
Mercantilism Limited amount of wealth in the world If one nation benefited, another suffered Goal is to maximize nation’s portion of trade Goal is to exclude competition from markets and monopolize wealth Governments pass legislation to support domestic commerce Trade incentives for local producers Establish barriers to outside trade Tariffs, excise taxes Quotas, restrictions on imports Infant industries support Governments support colonization, imperialism Colonization: find homes for excess population Imperialism provides markets, resources for domestic industry Foreign possessions bring glory, wealth to the nation Almost every nation in the world subscribes to this theory Free Trade Wealth is not finite but can be created To maximize wealth, allow people, industry to compete freely Governments exist to protect competition, not guarantee success UK, US (American colonies), Dutch are free traders Adam Smith and the Wealth of Nation Intellectual father of capitalism, free trade; ideas came to dominate US, Great Britain By 1914 UK was 1st in world, US was 3rd English, American companies dominated world trade, finance, industry, capital Even Germany, 2nd practiced the doctrine often

37 ECONOMIC EXCHANGES IN 1750 Domestic Trade International Trade
Most commerce is internal, most markets are autarkic: self-sufficient Great wealth is generated in trade but not as much as domestic production Most workers, farmers generate wealth only sufficient for self consumption International Trade Conditions of Trade Mercantilism predominates International trade tends to be limited to cash crops, finished luxuries Western Europe dominates most trade Only Eastern Asia has the ability to rival, challenge Western Europe Trade Markets Western European exports and imports Exports: finished products, finished luxuries Imports: raw materials, minerals, primary crop luxuries Eastern Europe, Southern Europe, Northern Europe, SW Asia Imports: finished products, finished luxuries Exports: minerals, primary products, grains Americas including Caribbean, South Asia Exports: minerals, primary products, cash crops Eastern Asia Exports: finished products, finished luxuries, cloths, silks Imports: minerals (silver), luxuries, luxury food Note: most economies limit European influence, contacts Africa Imports: finished products, finished luxuries, cash crops Exports: slaves, ivory, gold, cloves

38 ECONOMIC EXCHANGES IN 1914 Saw the rise of international trade
Trade involved all types of products, goods for first time Entire world involved: all continents, peoples effected Some nations traded to exist: made their wealth off of trade Very few nations produced finished goods for international market (core) Most nations supplied world markets with raw materials (periphery) Nations had begun to specialize in trade (we cannot produce everything) Terms of Trade Most items traded were finished goods, industrial products Wealthy nations tended to trade with each other Western Colonies, Latin America, all of Asia except Japan Only accounted for a small part of trade Generally exported primary products, imported finished products Nations began negotiating trade agreements The US and later UK came to favor open markets (markets open to all) Most favored nation status was goal: partners traded as equals Rise of international capital markets Domestic profit needed to be invested, sometimes best opportunities abroad Money invested abroad to reap benefits at home Rise of international banks, investment opportunities Rise of Multinational Corporations Corporations had branches, outlets in other nations Facilitated the transfer of technology, ideas, people between continents International Economic Exchanges Linked the world better than most ideologies Was an instrument of revolutionary change to traditional societies Was a threat to traditional societies Rise of international communism, socialism as reactions to international wealth
