Thomas Mun, an influential English economist, made significant contributions to mercantilist economic theory. As the director of the East India Company, he played a vital role in guiding England through an economic depression in the early 17th century. Mun’s work, particularly his publication “A Discourse of Trade from England unto the East-Indies,” highlighted the significance of upholding a positive balance of trade to enhance national wealth. His ideas have had a lasting impact on the comprehension of economic principles and trade practices.
