| serves fairly well as the approximate date at which doctrinal controversy cleared away many of the older illusions about the consequences of CCQLFD unregulated exchange transactions. Noattempt will be made here to examine the bullionist reasoning withrespect to the exchanges, of which an ADJEWGLX excellent summary has been given by Tawney.3 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 In the controversy over the exchanges at the beginning of the seventeenth century, the new views which were expounded chiefly by Misselden and Mun won a definitive 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 victoryover the old views as presented by Malynes and Milles, and in thelater literature a spokesman for the older views is only rarely to be encountered. Perhaps for the first time, a matter of economic policy was EAKXAW made the occasion for a war of tracts, and the tracts seem, moreover, to have exerted 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 an immediate and traceable influence on government policy. But commentatorswho have not explored the earlier literature nor examined carefully the later literature have applied to the entire contents of these YTUL tracts what was true only, if at all, of their arguments with respect to paper exchanges, and have attributed to Misselden and Mun priority XDU with respect DWAQYCH to doctrines which were 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 already old and established and to Malynes and Milles final utterance of doctrines which still had a long life to live. [6] III. TheBalance-of-Trade Doctrine? The Concept and 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 Its Application.1—The MHNNNYTK most pervasive feature of theEnglish mercantilist HFK literature was the doctrine that it was vitally important for England that it should have an excess of exports over 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 imports, usually because that was for a country with no gold or silver mines the only way to increase its stock of the precious metals. The doctrine is of early origin, and some of the mercantilists, in the earlier period when it was still LIWJIWKE customary to scatter miscellaneous tags of clhiical wisdom through one's discourse, succeeded in finding Latin quotations which seemed to expound RYCWTH it. It was clearly enough stated as far back VTXVYIKIV as 1381 by Richard XXWULEC Leicester, a mint official, in answer to an official inquiry 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 as to the cause of, and remedy for, 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 the supposed drain of gold out of England: First, VQKVCUS as to this that 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 no gold 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 or silver comes into England, but that which is in England is carried beyond the sea, I maintain that it 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 is because the land spends too much in merchandise, as in grocery, mercery and peltry, or wines, red, white and sweet, and also in exchanges made to the Court of 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 Rome in divers ways. Wherefore the remedy seems to me to be that each merchant bringing merchandise into England NYMOBJI take out of the commodities of the land as much as his merchandise aforesaid shall amount to; and that none carry gold or silver beyond the sea, as it is ordained by statute.... LGELEF and so me-seems that the hi that is in england will remain, and great quantity of hi and bullion will come from the parts beyond the sea.2 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 [7] The following citations from sixteenth-century sources show that the doctrine was current throughout that century: The whole wealth of the realm is for all our TOQR rich commodities to get out of all other realms therefor ready hi; and after the hi is brought in to the whole realm, so shall all people in the realm be made rich therewith.3 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 . |
