Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Use British English John Wheeler (died 1617) was an English businessman under the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I. Between 1601 and 1608 he was secretary of the Merchants Adventurers of England, an international trading company. In this capacity, he wrote and published in 1601 A Treatise of Commerce, considered both an early example of corporate publicity and "a manifesto of economic nationalism, [...] domestic monopolies and protectionist policies vis-à-vis foreign traders for the power and prestige of the nation".[1]
He is often confused with, but different from, the John Wheeler who was Member of Parliament for Great Yarmouth in the Parliament of 1604–1611.
