Answer:
The North American fur trade, an aspect of the international fur trade, was the acquisition, trade, exchange, and sale of animal furs in North America. Aboriginal peoples and Native Americans of various regions of the present-day countries of Canada and the United States traded among themselves in the pre–Columbian Era. Europeans participated in the trade from the time of their arrival to Turtle Island, commonly referenced as the New World, extending the trade's reach to Europe. The French started trading in the 16th century, the English established trading posts on Hudson Bay in present-day Canada during the 17th century, while the Dutch had trade by the same time in New Netherland. The North American fur trade reached its peak of economic importance in the 19th century, and involved the development of elaborate trade-networks.
The fur trade became one of the main economic ventures in North America, attracting competition among the French, British, Dutch, Spanish, Swedes and Russians. Indeed, in the early history of the United States, capitalizing on this trade, and removing the British stranglehold over it, was seen[by whom?] as a major economic objective. Many Native American societies across the continent came to depend on the fur trade[when?] as their primary source of income. By the mid-1800s changing fashions in Europe brought about a collapse in fur prices. The American Fur Company and some other companies failed. Many Native communities were plunged into long-term poverty and consequently lost much of the political influence they once had.

Explanation:
O utilitarismo foi uma corrente filosófica do século XVIII que exerceu influência determinante sobre o desenvolvimento da teoria econômica dos séculos XIX e XX, de matriz neoclássica. Tendo Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832) como seu principal expoente, o utilitarismo parte da máxima de que toda a motivação humana, em qualquer tempo e lugar, pode ser reduzida a um único princípio: maximizar o prazer e minimizar a dor. Essa máxima, derivada de uma filosofia do indivíduo, tornou-se o paradigma econômico dominante, representado pela escola neoclássica. Sob essa ótica, toda e qualquer análise econômica deveria partir do princípio do indivíduo como agente racional maximizador de prazeres e utilidade. No campo da teoria econômica, o cálculo do máximo prazer torna-se o cálculo do máximo lucro, e esse cálculo é sempre o comportamento esperado e justificado como racional.
Tendo o utilitarismo como fundamentação filosófica da ação individual, essa corrente rejeitou as teorias do valor-trabalho como explicação da formação do valor de troca e do preço das mercadorias, colocando em seu lugar a teoria do valor utilidade.
