By returning to its first critics, Mirabeau and Quesnay, we show that the mercantile system is essentially characterized by the valorization of a mode of economic development based on trade surpluses and on the imperative of price competitiveness. We conclude on the existence of a mercantile system in the 18th century, and suggest that the mercantile period begins with the advent of the commercial society.
