  Mercantilism Explained - The...

  Mercantilism, a dominant economic theory from the 16th to the 18th century, played a pivotal role in shaping the economic and political landscape of early modern Europe. Rooted in the belief that a nation's wealth and power were measured by its stockpile of precious metals, particularly gold and silver, mercantilism emphasized the importance of maintaining a favorable balance of trade. Nations sought to maximize exports while minimizing imports, often employing protectionist policies to achieve this goal. This approach reflected the belief that global wealth was finite, creating fierce competition among nations to secure the largest share of resources and economic advantage. 
  The historical context of mercantilism is deeply intertwined with the Age of Exploration and the rise of powerful nation-states. During this period, European powers such as Spain, Portugal, England, France, and the Netherlands expanded their empires overseas, establishing colonies that served as both sources of raw materials and markets for finished goods. These colonies were central to mercantilist strategies, enabling mother countries to extract wealth and resources while controlling trade to their advantage. This symbiotic relationship between mercantilism and colonial expansion would shape the geopolitical dynamics of the time, fueling rivalries and conflicts between competing empires. 
  Central to mercantilism was the role of government intervention in the economy. Unlike modern free-market principles, mercantilist policies relied heavily on state control to regulate trade and protect domestic industries. Governments imposed tariffs on imported goods, subsidized local production, and established monopolies through chartered companies to ensure economic self-sufficiency and reduce dependence on foreign powers. This top-down approach sought to consolidate economic power within the state, reinforcing the notion that national prosperity and security were interconnected.

  The devastating effects of toxic work environments are top news. Everyone seems to understand that healthy organizations nurture flourishing individuals and societies—what Jesus desires for all. How can Christian business and ministry leaders create a positive organizational culture and identity? 
   
   
   
  Justin Irving has spent twenty years studying, teaching, and reflecting on organizational leadership. Drawing wisdom from the Bible, contemporary leadership theory, and the insights of over two hundred executive leaders, Irving provides a theological framework that makes human flourishing the driving motivation for leading organizations well. He helps listeners invest in their own growth to become leaders who motivate, inspire, and nurture. But he broadens the view to help listeners see how different levels of leadership—the dynamics and interdependence of teams and of the whole organization—work together. He then offers practical insights on building teams, culture, and effective communication and on navigating the storms of crisis and change.
