Abstract

The comparison of economic attitudes in seventeenth-century Potosí and Boston, makes it necessary to reevaluate our concepts on the culture and development of Spanish America. New England merchants and Peruvian miners developed similar strategies in response to conditions in the New World, organicing diverse and integrated economies. It is also necessary to stress the role of the State and of politics, which is an area of significant contrasts between the Spanish world and Anglosaxon America.
