The discovery of American silver and its subsequent influx into Europe and Asia had a significant impact on the growth of world trade, to the extent that it is accurate to say that the growth in trade at this time laid the foundations for a world economy. In the Early Modern Period there was a world market for silver, and "silver was a product produced for profit just like any other commodity." The discovery of silver in the Americas led to an increase in trade between the silver markets of the world. In particular, silver was widely used by Europeans to acquire goods from Asia. This increase in trade and the routes through which it was conducted, laid the foundations for a world economy.
As time went on, the Spanish had so much money that inflation began to occur. There was not enough available supply of goods and services in demand for the rising prices and currency was happening. The Spanish French, and Dutch all began to explore more of North America to compete with each other for wealth, control over territory, resources, and domination of trade with the Indians as well as the Indians themselves as allies or slaves. The constraints on which the choices of colonists placed on administrative policies were due to corruption. As layers of bureaucracy developed over the centuries, so did the inefficiency and corruption within government operations.

Although the economic effects of silver flow from the mid 16th century to the early 18th century seem to perceived similarly in the separate countries, the social effects are more biased based on the source’s point of view. Documents 4 and 5 show that silver was the preferred means of pay even though the sources were from different points-of-views (British and Ming respectfully), however; documents2 and 7 show that the Spanish and the Chinese have different views on their hometown effects. The documents that are in terms of economy prove to be impartial such as document 4 which involves an outsider’s view from Britain who is analyzing the Portuguese’s use of silver for the Chinese goods.In document 5, the Ming writer portrays a blatant statement that in older times, a simple barter for dyed cloth would suffice but with the since the economy is becoming more desiring of silver, common shops are starting to complicate things with solid payments of silver.For the Spanish vantage, the priest states straight facts saying that according to official records, there was an incredible amount of silver circulating.A document that would increase the understanding of the economical effects would be a report from an official documenter in Manila that has the ratio between the silver going out versus the amount of goods from China to show who has the advantage in the trade- to serve something that has a professional view. By contrast to the non-opinionated economic effects, the social effects of the silver circulation differs opinions that represent each nation involved. Taking a look through the Ming Dynasty’s eyes, they believe that the greed involved in the silver is corrupting their lives.Interesting enough, all of the documents that are considered “Social Chinese”, they all are from the Ming officials.In document one, the Ming official is arguing that

Gender and Ethnicity in Colonial Potosi 1/31/2013 The silver city of Potosi is often remembered for its mining tradition and the labor that was fueled by a colonial draft system. Potosi, a remote mountain settlement situated in the Andes became a destination for goods coming from all around the world. As the silver economy developed in the city, an economy of an entirely different sort grew along with it in the streets and marketplaces or the city. Jane E. Mangan, in Trading Roles: Gender, Ethnicity, and the Urban Economy in Colonial Potosí, delves deeply into the dimension of indigenous women, who made a life for themselves through small scale enterprises and blurred the lines of gender and racial norms. Mangan utilizes a bevy of primary sources in her attempt to depict the economic practices that were commonplace in the urban community surrounding the Potosi mines.
These taxations also led to strikes and demonstrations becoming commonplace so could have caused Bloody Sunday itself. Witte’s economic reforms also led to another economic factor that caused the 1905 Revolution, the industrialisation of Russia. High speed industrialisation of Russia led to urbanisation causing a high density of people living in the towns and cities. This aided a social factor, the creation of a new urban working class and led to poor working and living conditions in Russia, this caused even greater resentment of the government and helped the formation of the SDs who also had a part to play in the 1905 Revolution. This high density of people living in towns and cities made it easier for revolutionary parties easier to rally and less easy to crush than when most people lived in more rural areas.
