Was he really Mercantilist?

I am not sure it is fair to describe this man as a "Mercantilist" - after all most of the Classical Free Trade economists also thought that payment should be in physical gold, and also believed that governments should not create general benefits or extensive public services. Mercantilism referred specifically to trade restrictions. As far as I am aware Shakhabut bin Sultan Al Nahyan did not forbid the people of Abu Dhabi importing things - he just would not pay for the demands of other people. If someone wanted stuff under his rule they had to pay for it themselves - that is not Mercantilism, Adam Smith and the other Classical Free Trade economists would have had no problem with this.2A02:C7D:B41D:C800:8D5E:98CB:C151:929F (talk) 11:06, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
