Under mercantilism, governments enacted policies in favor of the merchants.

Scottish philosopher Adam Smith coined the term "mercantilism." He criticized what he called the "mercantile system" (or 'merchants' system,' we might say), because it restricted trade and thus restricted economic growth.  The mercantile system believed the wealth of the world was a fixed amount, measured primarily in gold and silver accumulated.  The system promoted a nation selling its products abroad but not needing to buy from others, or imposing heavy tariffs if importing anything.  Commerce was heavily controlled by the government through charters granted to specific trading companies. That's the way that governments enacted policies in favor of the merchant class that supported the country's armies.

Smith countered by advocating a free market -- the opportunity for all nations to increase their wealth by exchanging goods freely with one another according to what would become known as capitalist principles.

What was the relationship between Grand Blances and Petits Blances <br>before Haitian Revolution​
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

The "Petit Blancs" was a French name given to the poor white citizens of Haiti that didn't own much or any land. These poor white folk were looked down on by the rich white plantation owners while also disliked by the black slaves. La Petit Blancs can be pretty compared to the peasants in France before the revolution although the black slaves did most of the manual labor in Haiti compared to the poor whites. When the slave rebellion lead by Louverture, Toussaint occurred, most of the petit blancs did not have the money to flee Haiti like the rich and were forced to live in a tense situation with the now self governing freed slaves. Pockets of petit blanc territory remained throughout the island though violence broke out between them and the Gens de couleur libres  at times. This revolution is yet another example of the lesser class majority winning over the rich as well as one of the first examples of black independence and freedom.
