According to all that I’ve read, mercantilists are very concerned that they be number one. They hold fast to the ideal that the power of the state is the most important issue. It is through state power and security that the country as a whole will be successful. They are all for capitalism as long as it promotes their state and national interest. On the other hand, neomarxism is interested in equity among the classes. They believe that capitalism breeds economic inequality among the classes, promotes individual and governmental greed and helps to sustain an international economic system that makes the rich richer. In his article, Antiglobalist Challengers form the Left and Right; Stenger outlines two antiglobalists that fit into the mercantilist ideal rather than the neomarxist.
