Voltaire thought the earthquake had a very different lesson, namely that nature can be capricious and does not respect human life. If there were to be a happier, more prosperous, and more just world, it would have to be one created by human activity.

Instead of importing raw materials from other nations, having raw materials available made it possible for countries to create their own goods, which they could export and accumulate wealth. Also, by not relying on other nations, they become self sufficient which is the ultimate goal of mercantilism.
