What happens
Mercantilist economic theory has become fashionable among influential guild members lately. They are, of course, highly knowledgeable in these matters... and also, coincidentally, likely to benefit from the policies they are backing.\n\nOthers are not as likely to benefit. Powerful traders operating internationally claim that these theories constitute a dead end, and will fight tooth and nail to prevent the republic from adopting them. With the support of the guilds, it may be possible, but not without political upheaval.
