Thanks BenLurkin. The mines at Potosi Bolivia have produced a decent fraction of all the silver ever mined on Earth, BTW. Had Spain built universities and developed entrepreneurially and scientifically instead of just being a country where everyone tried to live like kings, they'd probably have been to the Moon by about 1800. :^)
