It describes the fierce economic competition of the time, laying bare the motivations of those who sought to consolidate power through expansion of sea trade and colonization. As many statesmen believed that England's economic growth necessitated the acquisition of new markets and cheap raw materials, the author examines the policies that created a self-sufficient commercial empire, including the Acts of Trade and Navigation, the Navigation Act of 1660, and the Staple Act of 1663.
