it’s been eons so I’m probably misremembering, but Adam smith’s wealth of nations I think had a bit about how the Spanish elite hoarded all the money and almost none of it made it downward leading to both inflation and very little development. Every ounce of precious metal that went to Spain made the economy worse.
I remember Matt Christman saying that eventually the silver wasn't even going to Spain, it was being shipped directly to creditors in other countries. I'm not a big fan of mercantilism, but anti-mercantilism seems pretty bad?

huh. good thing we've learned so much since then

We learned that there was a physical limit to metallic currency so now there’s none of the pesky costs diverting money into local economies in Bolivia, the ports and other links along the line etc.

We’re so much better at creating money to give to the ruling class.

Not watching the WNBA and LPGA will mean that you're a sexist and doing a no growth.

I love Eurovision. I mean I don't watch it, but it's awesome that all these nations have a stupid pop song contest and the voting breaks down according to economic and military alliances. Marxist intellectuals should use it as a case study on base and superstructure. It's like medieval aristocracies getting together for jousts and poo poo, except that it's like pro wrestling where the outcomes are rigged.

Portugal was far worse than Spain in terms of squandering the wealth that they pillaged.

Just for reference:
Spain took about 200 metric tons of gold from the entirety of Spanish America
The California gold rush had about 340 metric tons of gold
Meanwhile, during the 18th century alone Portugal took 800 metric tons of gold.

What did they do with it? Paid commercial imbalances with England.
In exchange for naval and military protection, Portugal agreed that British textiles could enter Portugal tax free, while Portuguese wines would enter England paying 1/3 less tariffs than French wine.

Tournaments were also insanely political and the results seem to have been nudged in the right direction every now and then.

The European aristocracy hasn't really changed, they just make their money from financial rent rather than land rent, and they don't have fencing scars anymore.
