Question

The phrase "mother country" is best associated with the economic philosophy known as?

Answer 1

Imperialism - This is when larger countries, known as mother countries would establish colonies in other parts of the world. A good example would America and England. England was the mother country, and they had colonies on the eastern coast of America. America obviously didn't like this, we decided to fight to be our own independent nation, we revolted against England, declared independence, created a constitution, etc.

Answer 2

I would say commonwealth.  While perhaps the same as imperialism, commonwealths did give most of the participants a degree of improvement in economic conditions.  The British Commonwwealth is the best example, and the members still enjoy some trade and labor benefits.

Answer 3

Communism

Answer 4

Mercantilism - A 'mother country' creates colonies, with the intention that they be sources of raw materials for the mother country's industries, and markets for the mother country's finished goods.

Answer 5
