The correct answer is letter B

Mercantilism was the set of economic practices adopted by European nations between the 15th and 18th centuries. These economic practices are considered by historians as the stage of transition from the feudal mode of production to the mode of capitalist production. In this sense, it is incorrect to say that mercantilism was an economic system, since it did not consist of a mode of production, such as feudalism and capitalism.

It was adopted by European nations during the Great Navigations and the establishment of the colonial system on the American continent. It is important to consider that mercantilism adopted different characteristics according to the reality and the needs of each European country.

Answer: Encouraging high wages to increase national purchasing power.

Explanation: Mercantilism is the theory that a nation must always have a positive balance of trade, in the manner that a merchant would operate a shop. Typically this model presupposes protectionism.

It is aimed at accumulating monetary reserves through a positive balance of trade, especially of finished goods.

Encouraging high wages to increase national purchasing power is not a good mercantilistic practice because it is not aimed at accumulating monetary reserves through a positive balance of trade.

When are secondary sources more useful than primary sources

Reptile [31]

Advantages: Primary sources directly address your topic and often provide information that is unavailable elsewhere. For example, the questions you compose for an interview or a survey will likely target your unique interest in the topic. Similarly, to test a particular hypothesis, you can design your own experiment.
Disadvantages: Some primary sources, such as eyewitness accounts, may be too close to the subject, lacking a critical distance. Others, such as interviews, surveys, and experiments, are time consuming to prepare, administer, and analyze. Finally, unless you have been trained in accepted methodologies, your own primary research in certain fields of study may not be recognized as valid.

The decline in economic production in Europe during the 1300s were caused by

miss Akunina [59]

There were episodes of widespread famines, and also of deadly epidemics. Soil exhaustion, overpopulation, wars, diseases and climate change cause hundreds of famines in medieval Europe. Around 1300, centuries of European prosperity and growth came to a halt. Famines such as Great Famine of 1315–1317 slowly weakened the populace. Few people died of starvation because the weakest had already succumbed to a routine disease they otherwise would have survived. A plague like the Black Death killed its victims in one locality in a matter of days or even hours, reducing the population of some areas by half as many survivors fled.

What does it mean the civilisation they encountered?

rewona [7]

Answer:

So what is civilisation? In the literal sense it means living in towns, but I would like to suggest that in modern usage, it tends to embrace the term ‘freedom’, to be involved in what we call ‘democracy’ — though democracy itself is a very slippery term. It is better perhaps to look at the opposite, which is totalitarianism, a long word which denotes a state where the ruler demands not only control over your body, but over your mind too. And it is this demand for control over your mind that marks the totalitarian state, or barbarism. And it is freedom to think that is the essence of civilisation.

This freedom to think has its origin in economics. In a society ruled by an Emperor or Pharaoh, a Dictator who controls everything, you depend on the ruler for your well-being and for the necessities and luxuries of daily life. You are under the control of the ruler, so you switch off your critical facilities and enthusiastically follow the ruler. You are brain-washed (which in practice can be a not unpleasant form of life). In economics, this is what is known as the gift exchange society where you pay tribute to the ruler, and the ruler in return gives you the essential luxuries of life as ‘gifts’.

But once you get control of your everyday economics, you move into a different form of society which we call civilisation, where you have control of what you buy and how you live –and what you think. Economically, this new form of choice depends on money. The essence of money is that it gives you choice, and when you have choice in your everyday life, and you live in a market economy, this brings about a new way of living which we call civilisation.
