Mercantilism is an economic theory and practice that was prominent in Europe from the 16th to the 18th century. It advocates for government regulation of a nation's economy to augment state power at the expense of rival national powers. The primary goal is to increase a nation's wealth by imposing government regulation concerning all of the nation's commercial interests. It is characterized by the belief that national strength can be maximized by limiting imports via tariffs and maximizing exports.
