Question

question 9 of 10 which of these actions would be encouraged under a capitalist system but discouraged under a mercantilist system? a. placing limits on the types of products sold in a country b. selling expensive luxury goods to foreign consumers c. encouraging workers to move from farms to big cities d. importing cheap consumer goods from foreign countries

Explanation:

Mercantilism aims to accumulate wealth through a positive trade - balance by restricting imports and promoting exports. Importing cheap goods from foreign countries would reduce domestic production and the trade surplus, which is discouraged in mercantilism. Capitalism, on the other hand, encourages free - market activities including imports for consumer benefit.

Answer:

D. Importing cheap consumer goods from foreign countries
