I didn't see a link to a longer study, but the authors apparently dismiss the
theory that American silver led to the collapse of the Ming Dynasty:
"Historians have debated the validity of the theory that silver shortages
caused the downfall of the Ming dynasty" according to Wikipedia,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ming_dynasty. The authors of this article see
the collapse as not being from world market or shocks external to China, and I
wonder why Peruvian silver does not enter into the equation, so to speak.
