Colonial Latin America was famed for the precious metals plundered by the conquistadores and the gold and silver extracted from its mines. Historians and economists have attempted to determine the amount of bullion produced and its impact on the colonies themselves and the emerging early-modern world economy. Using official tax and mintage records, this book provides decade-by-decade and often annual data on the amount of gold and silver officially refined and coined in the treasury and mint districts of Spanish and Portuguese America. It also places American bullion output within the context of global production and addresses the issue of contraband production and bullion smuggling. The book is thus an invaluable source for evaluating the rise of the early-modern economy.

Le voyage d'Alexandre de Humboldt en Amérique espagnole ouvre la voie aux grandes expéditions scientifiques du XIXè siècle. Naturaliste, physicien, géographe et historien, Humboldt a rapporté d'Amérique une masse énorme de données et d'observations. Les trente volumes de son Voyage aux régions équinoxiales du Nouveau Continent couvrent trois vastes domaines: sciences de la Terre, sciences naturelles et sciences de l'homme. Charles Minguet présente et analyse les résultats du voyage et surtout l'étude humboldtienne des groupes humains, coexistant en Amérique sous la domination espagnole. Humboldt réévalue le passé indigène précolombien, en fondant l'anthropologie, l'ethnologie et l'archéologie américanistes. En même temps, il dresse un tableau géographique, économique, politique, total et chiffré.
