Colbert hoped to support French industries, boost the merchant marine, and expand colonial interests. The author traces Colbert's implementation of a protectionist system, including tariffs, subsidies, and regulations, to achieve these goals. The book explores the origins and characteristics of Colbert's policies, placing them within the broader context of mercantilist economic theories prevalent during the era. It examines the impact of these policies on French industry and trade, analyzing successes and failures, as well as the reactions from rival nations like England. Ultimately, the book highlights Colbert's significant influence on French economic development and his enduring legacy in shaping French commercial policy.
