Features: 1689-1783 was the Imperial Period in the history of the British Empire. There has been no systematic research on this stage of British history domestically. Through this book, the author proposes that the characteristic of the Empire was mercantilism, and focuses on comprehensively explaining five aspects: the ideological foundation of the mercantilist Empire, the territorial expansion of the mercantilist Empire, the economic ties of the rational mercantilist Empire, and the disintegration of the mercantilist Empire. As one of the few specialized works on the early rise of the British Empire, this book holds significant academic value.
