They devised a new economic policy to ensure the profitability of the colonies as Europeans expanded their market reach into the colonial sphere. European perceptions of wealth from the 1500s to the late 1700s were shaped by the philosophy of mercantilism. Mercantilism held that there was only a limited amount of wealth in the world, as measured in gold and silver bullions. Nations had to amass wealth in order to gain power by mining these precious raw materials from their colonial possessions. Mercantilists did not believe in free trade, arguing instead that to create wealth and improve state power, the nation should control trade. Colonies existed to strengthen the colonizing nation in this view.
Aloha~! My name is Zalgo and I am here to help you out on this glorious day. The Industrial Revolution made it a bit easier for people to find jobs because all of these factory owners needed workers. But, the working conditions weren't the best during that. As all of the factories were being built, some businesses were in dire need of workers and considering a lot of workers needed jobs, it wasn't too hard to find some workers and workers were willing to work, so the employers could set the wages as low as they wanted.
I hope that this helps! :D
