Reviews

[Diego · Rating 5 out of 5]

Una gran compilación que explora la evolución de la economías coloniales en América Latina a detalle, las transformaciones institucionales, los impactos de la geográfia, de los impuestos, el desarrollo de industrias como la mineria o los textiles y el mercantilismo de la metropolis con su periferia.

Los trabajos de John Coatsworth, Aurora Gómez, Graciela Marquéz, Carlos Marichal y Leandro Padro de la Escosura son muy buenos y valen mucho la pena para entender la evolución económica de la región y muy en especifico de la economía de la Nueva España.

Muy recomendado.
