- W2325971034 abstract "In the years after 1780, the prices of livestock; of meat sold in towns, of maize, pulque, sugar, and tobacco; and of land for sale and rent all rose in New Spain. Conversely, the price of goods imported from Europe fell. Since the wages of the laboring classes did not rise, the income of that section of the population which entered the labor market fell. And, with regard to a wide range of commodities, the purchasing power of silver coin fell. Much of the economic growth of this period, expressed in fiscal receipts, trade figures, and mintage of specie may have been illusory, the result of inflation rather than of real increase in activity or value. It is the aim of Arij Ouweneel and Catrien C. J. H. Bijleveld (hereafter cited as O-B) to ascertain the causes of inflation after 1780; to question the value of church tithes as an index of agricultural production; to deny the possibility of using maize price series as an index of inflation; and to subject a variegated set of statistical series to computerized correlation in order to demonstrate the incidence of hardship among the Mexican masses. Their intentions are ambitious and will undoubtedly provoke much discussion. The purpose of the comments which follow is not to challenge their underlying vision of Bourbon Mexico, but simply to examine the strength of their arguments and to query the reliability of some of their statistics. O-B are at their most original in providing a century-long list of the number of tributaries in selected districts in central Mexico. This shows that the number of registered individuals rose from 187,547 in 1770 to a maximum of 340,113 in 1798, an increase of 8i percent in 28 years. Obviously, the superior level of official competence, so apparent after the Galvez visitation, may well have affected the rate of registration. That the total did not change in the years 1786-89, at a time when the country was racked by harvest failure, indicates the dimension of what O-B" @default.
