groups (with exceptions like China and Japan). My concern is about
economic freedom. Shouldn't people have the right to buy goods from
whomever they please? What is the Shogun's reason for interfering in
the market and limiting the choices of merchants and consumers? -Brian

This proved detrimental in the future when they learned about technological advancements in Europe the hard way. The thing is, these restrictions to interior trading and close neighbors are, well, restricting. Merchants should have the ability to go into other empires and share resources and inventions. Why did they restrict western trade so much more than their trade with their neighbors?]]> 2021-10-08 15:56:44 UTC https://padlet.com/25ab0178/business/wish/1802870227 25jg04671 https://padlet.com/25ab0178/business/wish/1806134509 The British East India Company was quite violent, "unethical", and maybe even corrupt. Actually, it was. The company was caught bending the laws subtly through parliament to benefit themselves. Also, they used sheer violence to seize chunks of Indian empires and to enhance trade. The company was then caught performing the world's first corporate lobbying scandal, using it's own shares to buy parliamentarians. How could this have been prevented, and why wasn't it?]]> 2021-10-10 21:53:42 UTC https://padlet.com/25ab0178/business/wish/1806134509 25po05441 https://padlet.com/25ab0178/business/wish/1808309571 the Mughal Empire was very encouraging of trade but very loose with trade laws. One of their main reasons that caused the the empire to decline was allowing to many other countries to open trade centers (ex: french and portugal) and slowly started to open more trade center moving up north which gave them a foot hold against the Mughals and took over Mughals. Now we are in the 1700's and you are the King/ruler of the Mughal Empire, why do you have such loose laws and allow other countries to open up trade centers. ]]> 2021-10-11 17:13:33 UTC https://padlet.com/25ab0178/business/wish/1808309571 25ck00541 https://padlet.com/25ab0178/business/wish/1808355658 Jahan spent too much money on lavish goods for himself, fancy buildings and military projects which caused him to raise taxes. Is this really fair to tax paying citizens who don't vote for their leader to have to pay an increase of taxes for something that does not even benefit them. Imagine not voting for  your leader and being a poor farmer and then having too pay a premium of taxes so Jahan can have a gold plated toilet! How can you justify this!]]> 2021-10-11 17:32:53 UTC https://padlet.com/25ab0178/business/wish/1808355658 25ck00541 https://padlet.com/25ab0178/business/wish/1808947824 Prince harry was spending way too much money overseas for wars he couldn't even win and he didn't see what was happening he blindly through money at it money which he did not have so he had to consult with parliment all the time to get more money are these really good financial decisons? and what could he have done differntly with the money that he inherited?]]> 2021-10-11 23:05:39 UTC https://padlet.com/25ab0178/business/wish/1808947824 https://padlet.com/25ab0178/business/wish/1808956992 The Qing empire was strict in trade and their laws where stern. One of their strict laws where that they restricted trade with the westerners, and also put heavy fines/taxes on foreign trade. This law also stated that the only port allowed to have foreign commerce was Guangzhou. Do you think the Qing empire would have been more successful opening up trade ports more and not making harsh rules on western trade?]]> 2021-10-11 23:12:58 UTC https://padlet.com/25ab0178/business/wish/1808956992 25cl00651 https://padlet.com/25ab0178/business/wish/1808970476 After the Dutch and British closed off international trade routes through the middle east, inflation started to crawl up. Resulting in taxes rising, people were left without pay, and corruption.

What happened for the emperor to gain absolute power and intolerance?

This also made the English empire to have a monopoly on such products often overcharging on these, how could this be changed?
