Between 1664 and 1674, France advanced a vigorous strategy of commerce and colonization. It founded the powerful East India Company and constructed a large royal fleet as the principal instrument for entrenching French power in Asia. Drawing on archival sources, Ames offers a new interpretation of France's mercantilism in the context of the rise of the world market economy of the early modern period. This study sheds new light on the reign of Louis XIV, the mercantilist theories of Colbert, the origins of the Dutch War, and the Asian trading empires of the French, Dutch, English, and Portuguese during the late seventeenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Glenn Ames\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0875802079\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780875802077\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northern Illinois University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 259\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.33w x 0.91d","brand":"Glenn Ames","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44138425188607,"sku":"9780875802077","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_39a70e60-02c6-49e0-a169-f6639c8bf838.jpg?v=1687899598","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/colbert-mercantilism-french-glenn-ames-9780875802077","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
