Overview

Volume one includes the colonial and independence eras up to 1850, linking
Latin America's economic history to the pre-Hispanic, European, and African
background. It also synthesizes knowledge on the human and environmental impact
of the Spanish conquest, the evolution of colonial economic institutions, and
the performance of key sectors of the colonial and immediate post-colonial
economies. Finally, it analyses of the costs and benefits of
independence.
