A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode of The Story of Mexico, Lucas and Luna explore the vibrant economic engine behind the Aztec Empire. Focusing on the pochteca—the long-distance traders who operated as spies and diplomats—they reveal how tribute from conquered cities and markets like Tlatelolco sustained Tenochtitlan's grandeur. They discuss the role of the tlatlacotin (slaves) and mayeque (serfs), the complex system of tribute recorded in the Mendoza Codex, and the controversial practice of 'flower wars' as a source of sacrificial victims. Lucas explains how cacao beans served as currency and how the tianguis (markets) were regulated by special judges. The conversation also touches on the economic impact of Spanish conquest, including the introduction of the encomienda system and the catastrophic population decline. This episode offers a ground-level view of daily commerce and imperial exploitation, revealing the sophisticated economic structures that made the Aztec Empire one of the most powerful in the Americas.
