Educational Mercantilism 

The concept that there is a finite amount of education in a given environment, so that there is a benefit to depriving others of a quality education in order to increase the benefits to themselves.
The reason why there is little to no effort to improve failing public school systems is because those in power believe in Educational Mercantilism, and having the best education for their child means that education needs to be better than those of others.

Merkantalism 

Merking everybody non-stop as they try to snake their way through traffic. Often used while playing Mario Kart as a policy towards the other racers. As they try to snake their way past you, you simply hit them with a shell, banana, bomb, or other item in order to merk them. When done correctly this will drop them back a few places as well as bring shame upon their racing reputation.
When Pat entered first place on his favorite course, Figure 8 Circuit, we all let out a chuckle as I said "Well look who's about to get merked by my blue shell." *I paused, waiting for my shell to hit Pat* "You can call that Merkantalism."
