> Once it had been #Potosí’s silver that nourished the great families of.. [#Lima]; now (1840-1880s).. bird-droppings.. vulgar means to the same elegant ends.. #Britain had taken #Spain’s place.. [#Peru] felt rich.. and the state carelessly used up its credit, living prodigally and mortgaging its future to #British #HighFinance.. and #Europe juggled prices.
