Summary:The Aztec Economy provides a synthesis and updated examination of the Aztec economy (1325-1521 AD). It is organized around seven components that recur with other Elements in this series: historic and geographic background, domestic economy, institutional economy, specialization, forms of distribution and commercialization, economic development, and future directions.
