This volume concentrates on all aspects of the population and poverty problem: what poverty is, what effects poverty has, what creates poverty, and what can be done to eradicate it.

The arrival of Europeans in the Americas brought with it a demographic catastrophe of vast proportions for the native populations. What were the causes?
The surviving documentation is extraordinarily rich: conquistadors, religious figures, administrators, officials, and merchants kept records, carried out inquiries, and issued edicts.

Drawing on these sources, Livi Bacci shows how not only the 'imported'...
