The Spanish Exploitation Of The Silver
Author: Forrest Hypolite
Publisher: Independently Published
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
This is the story of how the Spaniard mines Silver ore in the mountains and the price to pay for it. In the 16th century, the treasure within the Red Mountain's bowels swept Europeans into a state of frenzied excitement as galleon-loads of silver were shipped across the Atlantic to finance the religiously motivated wars in Europe. The mountain's redness symbolized the bloodshed by untold numbers of Indians coerced into laboring within its shafts, handling the treacherously noxious mercury without which little of the silver would have emerged from its vast treasure house. Today Potosi's habitats are amongst Bolivia's poorest. It's a story that continues to have relevance to our contemporary world, leading to shameful inequality, corruption, wanton disregard of the environment, and raises questions about the true nature of money we continue to wrestle with today.
