Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the vital, unseen role played by organized business interests in shaping English history, as exemplified by the Merchant Adventurers during the reign of Elizabeth I. The author argues that the true engine of English economic and political independence was a national…policy driven by the King in harmony with the nation's leading business interests. In contrast to prior assumptions, the author contends that it was not religious or constitutional differences, but rather deep-rooted economic causes, that triggered the conflict between the early Stuarts and Parliament. The book analyzes how the Merchant Adventurers, a national organization of nearly 2,000 English merchants, largely controlled the foreign trade of the country and acted as secret agents for their government. Through operations on Continental bourses, they delayed the sailing of the Spanish Armada for a whole year by restricting Spanish access to credit. In addition to investigating the national spirit that inspired both the monarchy and commerce in Elizabethan England, the author also elucidates the Mercantile system, which aimed not primarily at a favorable balance of trade, but rather at the independence and strength of the Kingdom. The author concludes that England is most fortunate when its leaders and economic interests work together.
