Answer: Mercantilism

Explanation:

Mercantilism was the dominant economic system embraced by the Europeans between the 16th century to the 18th century. The system and theory believed that the wealth in the world was limited so it was in a nation's best interest to accumulate as much of this wealth as it could.
