Cost differences govern the international movement of goods. The concept of cost is founded upon the labor theory of value.

1.1 Mercantilism
The mercantilists advocated government regulation of trade to promote a favorable trade balance.
If a country could achieve a favorable trade balance, it would receive payments from the rest of the world in the form of gold and silver. Such revenues would contribute to an increase in spending and thus a rise in domestic output and employment.

Labor is the only factor of production and is homogeneous (i.e. of one quality).
The cost or price of a good depends exclusively upon the amount of labor required to produce it.
In like manner, the U.K has an absolute advantage in cloth production.
