Colonial Economics
Salutary Neglect: a period from 1607-1763 in
which England did not strictly enforce
Parliamentary laws, which allowed the
colonies to flourish as almost independent
states for many years.
Mercantilism: Colonies existed to benefit the
“Mother Country” by
• providing raw materials for industry
• providing a captive market for Mother’s
finished goods
• contribute to the wealth of the Mother
Country
• “Do not compete with Mother in terms of
buying or selling to other countries”
Colonial Economics
•Navigation Acts: Passed under the
mercantilist system, the Navigation Acts (16511673) regulated trade in order to benefit the
British economy. The acts restricted trade
between England and its colonies to English or
colonial ships, required certain colonial goods
to pass through England before export,
provided subsidies for the production of certain
raw goods in the colonies, and banned colonial
competition in large-scale manufacturing.
