Description:
A biography of the wildly successful silver mine owner Pedro Romero de Terreros, who made his fortune in 18th century colonial Mexico, explores such issues as the vast inequality between rich and poor, the relationship between individuals and the crown, and the degree to which the exploitation of natural resources benefited the colony.
