The impact of Bartolome de Medina's mercury amalgamation process and Chinese demand for silver on the birth of global trade in the sixteenth century. - 83 p.

Adviser: Ken Curtis.

Thesis (M.A.)--California State University, Long Beach, 2008.

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the need to view the rise of global trade networks in the 16th century as not just dependant on demand-side changes in China for silver, but also with the supply-side timing of the development of mercury amalgamation in the mines of the Americas by Bartolome de Medina. The bulk of recent scholarship has focused primarily on China's role in the rise of these silver trade networks due to China and its tributary states switching to a silver standard for all tax payments. This drew available silver from around the world to China due to high arbitrage values and created a lasting connection between Old and New Worlds in trade. But, it was the critical timing of a new process---mercury amalgamation---by a relatively unknown, but very influential merchant named Bartolome de Medina that made the processing of a sufficient amount of silver to make this switch to a silver standard possible.
