Economic activities were closely regulated in medieval cities and in the new municipalities later set up in the Spanish Empire. Writers of early colonial times supported the idea of the just price and were opposed to middlemen and monopolies, except the meat supply was monopolized by municipal governments for the public good. Enlightenment doctrines of free commerce finally supplanted the older body of thought concerning the marketplace. Beef and mutton prices from meat supply contracts for Cuernavaca show that supplies of livestock and prices were affected by weather to some extent, less by epidemics, and to an indeterminate extent by the intention that the price should be just and reasonably stable
