A weakened ability to store value, growing restrictions on finance, oppressive taxes and a |

"Beyond Germs challenges the hypothesis that the massive depopulation of the New World was primarily caused by diseases brought by Europeans, which scholars used for decades to explain the decimation of the indigenous peoples of North America.
