Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Scarce multilingual paperback, primarily in English, vii + 428 pages, NOT ex-library. Clean, bright, untanned interior with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Covers shows dark handling marks, some faint residue of a removed sticker, a small bump in the lower spine corner of the rear panel. Spine with bumps and horizontal creases to the upper and lower ends, a touch of rubbing. -- The essays presented here, nearly all originally written for this volume by scholars from Latin America, North America and Europe, bring together much of the results of the rich research on the late colonial economies of both viceroyalties during the past fifteen years. They allow a reevaluation of many old questions and open the vista to new ones: Did mining function as a lead sector? What effect did growing demand for agricultural commodities have on the social distribution of resources and benefits in the countryside? Do Mexican and Peruvian processing industries have anything in common with European proto-industrialization during the eighteenth century, and how can we account for their relative feebleness? How did merchants adapt to the liberalized commercial environment after the 1770s? What effect did the sweeping commercial and fiscal reforms of Spain's Bourbon monarchs have on particular groups of producers and consumers in the colonies? What emerges from this comparative approach is a better understanding not just of conjunctural, but of structural differences between the economies and societies of Mexico and Peru.
