Opis

Royal treasury records of annual auctions of Indian tributes are the source of price history for sixteenth-century Nueva Galicia. Using this data, this book determines that from 1557 to 1598 the prices of some commodities such as maize rose more than in the neighboring Audiencia of Mexico, whereas other prices, such as those for wheat, fell.
