The Bewitchment of Silver. The Social Economy of Mining in Nineteenth-Century Peru
(2000)
Abstract
Mining was crucial for the development of nineteenth-century Peru. Silver mining in particular was a key to both the export sector and the creation of an internal market and national development. The Bewitchment of Silver is an inquiry into the impact of that mineral on a national economy in a country at the periphery of nineteenth-century capitalism.
