Description
Cambridge University Press The Kingdom of Quito 1690-1830 The State and Regional Development by Kenneth J Andrien
Spanish colonialism exacted a high price from its subjects, promoting economic dependency as the accompaniment of a more vital economy based on a mix of industry and agriculture. This volume examines how Spanish colonial policies contributed to patterns of underdevelopment in the Kingdom of Quito (modern Ecuador) from 1690 to 1830.
