Description

"This volume brings into a common context three representative sources which focus on monetary problems in 17th century Spain. Each source approaches the consequences of coin debasement from a different angle, which allows an enhanced overall view of the magnitude of a problem that affected the whole of the social spectrum in the Spanish Kingdom of Castile for most of the 17th century. In addition to considerations derived from observing monetary phenomena, these sources shed light on other aspects of early modern Castilian society. The perceptions held by their authors are valuable not only from the point of view of monetary history, but from that of social history and historical anthropology."--Back cover.
