Colonial Exchange Systems and the Decline of Paquime (1980)
DOCUMENT Full-Text R. A. Pailes. Daniel T. Reff.

We suggest that the failure of Casas Grandes was inevitable. In the absence of advanced transportation technology, a monopolistic dendritic exchange system failed to develop. In its place, the administered market system was inadequate to control the local economies beyond the Casas Grandes province. Stimulated by Casas Grandes, the local economies eventually began to compete with the merchant-priests. While such competition may not have been large scale, its cumulative effect would have been...
