"The growing British industrial production capacity required a broader market, and the monopoly privileges enjoyed by chartered companies became a restriction on the expansion of British industrial capital. The same was true for the policy of mercantilism - British capital was already too strong to need its protection. Smith proposed a global trade strategy: free trade. He believed that although Britain could maintain its commercial monopoly through trade protection and conquest by force, Britain could make more money by choosing free trade. Only by making other countries richer could they buy more British products."
