In 1571, Spain established a trade route that connected the silver mountains of Potosí in modern-day Bolivia directly to the markets of Ming Dynasty China. This episode explores the Manila galleon, the massive wooden ships that carried tons of American silver across the Pacific in exchange for Chinese silk and porcelain. We examine how this single flow of wealth transformed the global economy, causing inflation in Europe and fueling the Single Whip Reform in China. Lucas and Luna discuss the perilous voyages, the strategic importance of Acapulco and Manila, and how the sheer volume of bullion made Spain both incredibly rich and structurally fragile. You will hear about the specific coins used, the dangers of typhoons and pirates, and the economic theory that linked the Andes to the Yangtze Delta. This is a story of how a mountain of silver changed the world. #ManilaGalleon #Potosi #MingDynasty #SpanishEmpire #SilverTrade #SingleShibForm #Acapulco #Manila #GlobalEconomy #Bullion #ChinasGold #PacificTrade #ColonialHistory #Inflation #EconomicHistory #Transpacific #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
