So what is this? A justification for ignoring the facts about 16th to 18th
century Mexico, Bolivia and Peru? If you took this kind of warning
seriously, you never would have written "The Invention of Capitalism" which
draws upon scholarly and source material written in and about England in
this period. Guess what. The same kind of information exists for Mexico,
Bolivia and Peru and I plan to draw on it for my final post.
