Synopsis

A clear, accessible look at how England built and enforced its colonial trade policy to benefit the home country.

The book surveys the evolution of England’s colonial policy, from early navigation laws to the mercantile system that confined colonial trade to the mother country. It focuses on the aims, debates, and real-world effects of regulation, planters, merchants, and lawmakers alike, with careful attention to how policy shaped commerce in the American colonies.



Using a broad historical lens, it traces major themes such as economic principles, restrictions on colonial manufactures, and the dynamics of specific trades like tobacco, sugar, molasses, and iron. The narrative moves from policy ideas to the practical outcomes for colonies and English industry, illuminating how and why certain laws endured or changed over time.

  • The economic principles behind mercantilist policy and its impact on colonial commerce
