World Silver and Monetary History in the 16th and 17th Centuries
China and the Manila Galleons
Beginning in the 1570s, silver initiated significant and continuous trade at the global level. Conservative official estimates indicate that Latin America alone produced about 150,000 tons of silver between 1500 and 1800 (Barrett, 1990, 237), perhaps exceeding 80 per cent of the entire world’s production over that time span (Cross, 1983, 397). And virtually all of it engaged in intercontinental trade. Explanation for the spectacular dominance of …
China and the Birth of Globalization in the 16th Century

Bin Yang on the Global History of Cowries
Bin Yang correctly states that cowrie shells (250 species) and cowrie monies (two species mostly) deserve far more attention in global histories than they have received. He provides the most comprehensive view of the global history of cowries and cowrie monies to date. Multiple shell monies proliferated worldwide, but they did not concentrate within China (except Yunnan) nor within Europe. Why did specific cowries accumulate only in certain speci…

Big History, Geological Accumulations, Physical Economics, and Wealth
The unconventional model presented herein—Laws of Supplies and Demands— furnishes a view of the discipline of economics as both a social science and a physical science. This essay begins with Big History origins of Earthly mineral foundations upon which the Stone Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age, and today’s Computer Age were based, according to prominent geologist Walter Alvarez. Alvarez argues persuasively that geographical concentrations of specific …
Global Quantification and Inventory Demand for Silver in China
This article provides an initial (partial) estimate of silver quantities held within China around mid-18 th century, utilising archival evidence related to wealth confiscations. Better future estimates for overall Chinese silver holdings could also facilitate more accurate estimation of Chinese silver (legal plus illegal) imports. Similar analyses for other world regions could eventually yield estimates for global silver stock holdings, useful in…
Six monetary functions over five millennia
Price Theory of Monies labels differ fundamentally. The Price Theory of Monies recognizes tangibility of each fiat money. Aggregation across distinct commodity monies is one problem, but a second problem concerns aggregation of tangible and intangible monies. Aggregation problems have persisted for both tangible and intangible monies throughout centuries of evolution of the nature of monies, as well as interactions with non-monetary items. The si…
European Entry into the Pacific
The Cambridge World History
The era from 1400 to 1800 saw intense biological, commercial, and cultural exchanges, and the creation of global connections on an unprecedented scale. Divided into two books, Volume 6 of The Cambridge World History considers these critical transformations. The first book examines the material and political foundations of the era, including global considerations of the environment, disease, technology, and cities, along with regional studies of e…
East Asian Trade before/after 1590s Occupation of Korea
The purpose of this essay is threefold. First, to highlight research of Seonmin KIM, whose 2006 Ph.D. dissertation elucidates complex relationships among Ming China, Choson Korea, Tokugawa Japan, and mountainous ginseng-producing "borderlands" between Korea and China; her story concludes with the remarkable rise of a borderlands power that overthrew Ming China, there-by establishing dominance that lasted into the $20^{th}$ century - the Qing Dyna…

The tradition of the European novel
China and the Spanish Empire
En este artículo argumentamos que Ming China desempeñó un papel fundamental en el auge y decadencia del Imperio español. La demanda china de plata permitió elevados beneficios hasta 1640. El descenso de estos beneficios llevó a la reducción de la producción y la Monarquía se enfrentó a una grave crisis financiera. La consecuencia fue una presión fiscal creciente con objeto de compensar la pérdida de los ingresos externos procedentes de América
Arbitrage, China, and World Trade in the Early Modern Period
L'auteur aborde l'histoire du commerce de l'argent depuis le debut de la Periode Moderne, qui contribua a la naissance du commerce mondial, entre l'Asie (Chine et Japon surtout) et l'Amerique du sud espagnole et portugaise. La decouverte de mines tres riche au Japon et en Amerique espagnole, et l'apparition de nouvelles technologies d'extraction sont a l'origine de ce phenomene. L'auteur porte une attention particuliere a la Chine, qui fut le plu…

Farrell and Dostoevsky
In the dream Farrell feels the ideas and passions of Dostoevsky's novel moving inside his head, motion symbolized in the dream by the highly charged image of the book itself, an image of his copy of The Brothers Karamazov. Regarding the terms of this dream, we can say that Dostoevsky had not merely interfered with Farrell's dreams. The intensity of feeling and the image of the book slightly aslant but significantly fixed in his head, as well as t…
El desarrollo del primer capitalismo a pesar de los metales preciosos del Nuevo Mundo
Segün ciertos autores, el capitalismo empezó a adquirir su forma moderna cuando los Estados del «Centro» de Europa occidental establecieron una hegemonía comercial en la economía mundial de los siglos XVI y XVII. El trabajo forzado de la «Periferia» (primordialmente Latinoamérica y Europa oriental) creaba excedentes económicos que eran posteriormente transferidos a Inglaterra, los Países Bajos y el norte de Francia. La labor de los que proponen d…
A new perspective on the spanish price revolution
Fiscal Crisis and the Decline of Spain (Castile)
Earl J. Hamilton's multiple theses on the price revolution, the decline of Spain, and the birth of capitalism have all placed American silver (and gold) at the forefront. This essay supports Hamilton's emphasis on the impact of New World treasure on the decline of Castile, but from a different angle. Mining profits rather than the quantity of imports supported the empire. When the profits dwindled, as was inevitable, international superiority was…
