Description: "Attempts to revive the neglected history of the prices of products in New Spain. In nine essays, several researchers examine the sources and methodology for the history of prices and the cycles of prices for staple products and manufactures. Also includes a  special study of merchandise and prices in the 16th century. Rich in tables and raw data as well as analysis, this is a welcome addition to the economic history of the period"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
