Mun, Thomas

▪ English economist and writer
baptized June 17, 1571, London, England
died c. July 21, 1641

      English writer on economics who gave the first clear and vigorous statement of the theory of the balance of trade.

      Mun came into public prominence in England during the economic depression of 1620. Many people had blamed the East India Company for the economic downturn because the company financed its trade by exporting £30,000 in bullion on each voyage.

      In A Discourse of Trade, from England unto the East Indies (1621), Mun argued that as long as England's total exports exceeded its total imports in the process of visible trade, the export of bullion was not harmful. He pointed out that the money earned on the sale of reexported East Indian goods exceeded the amount of originally exported bullion with which those goods were purchased. The argument may have been made in self-interest: Mun was affiliated with the East India Company and was appointed to the standing commission on trade in 1622.

      Mun was one of the first mercantilists (mercantilism). In other words, he believed that a nation's holdings of gold are the main measure of its wealth and that governments should regulate trade to produce an excess of exports over imports in order to gain more gold for the country. Later economists, from Adam Smith (Smith, Adam) on, showed that trade is self-regulating and that governments that seek to hoard gold or other hard currencies will make their countries worse off. A further development of Mun's ideas appears in England's Treasure by Forraign Trade, a book that was not published until 1664—decades after his death.
