Description
The Aztec Economy provides a comprehensive synthesis and updated examination of the Aztec economy from 1325 to 1521 AD. The book is structured around seven key components, offering a detailed analysis of this complex and dynamic system. The Aztec world was marked by constant growth, recovery from natural disasters, and shifting political alignments, all of which had a profound impact on their economy. This economy was characterized by intensive agriculture, the exploitation of non-agricultural resources, and a range of manufacturing activities, including utilitarian and luxury production. By examining these seven components, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the Aztec economy's intricate structure and its many facets.
