Potosi: The Silver Mine that Changed the World
Spanish colonial rule in the Americas was a brutal regime that killed millions of native Americans and transferred a nearly unimaginable volume of wealth from the New World to the Old World. Awful though it was, the Spanish efforts in the Americas would profoundly change not just the Americas but also the entire world. Rarely remembered today, Potosí and its mountain - Cerro Rico, literally “Rich Mountain” - would play a pivotal role in history.

Dynamite, Coke And A Man-Eating Mountain: Bolivia's Potosi | Crossing The Andes | TRACKS
Stef Biemans travels the ridge of the Andes and wonders how South Americans are doing in Potosí, the highest city in the world, and once one of its richest, but also one where life can be short.
In the mining town of Potosí, capitalism was born, as it were. Here, the first coin was struck using silver from the mine of the ‘rich mountain’, which is still in use. So much silver has been extracted from this imposing mountain, you could use it to build a bridge to Spain. But you could also build a bridge out of the bones of dead miners and slaves. On average, miners only make it to the age of 45.

Ep 186 Potosi The Silver Mine that Changed the World
In 1545, a new Spanish mining town was founded in the Andes mountains of modern-day Bolivia, and for next 250 years, the mines of Potosí would fund the Spanish crown and its imperial ambitions. But what the Spanish did not know is that having too much silver could have disastrous consequences. In this episode, we will examine the history of New World silver and its effect on the world economy, the lives of the people who mined it, and how Bolivian silver contributed to global economic inflation.

“To all those who have listened to me and seen what my life is like. With dirty hands, a sweaty face and green teeth, we stay miners right up until death separates us from this world.” - Eduardo Mamani, 22
Located in the Potosi mountains, in Bolivia, Cerro Rico is know as the highest and most dangerous silver mines in the world. Rumour has it that the mines have killed eight million men, either by accident or illness, over the past 500 years.
Eduardo, 22 years old, is the youngest boy of a miners’ family. Every day, he works as a driller assistant and goes 250 metres down looking for the precious mineral. Like every miner, he dreams of discovering the vein and making a fortune here.
At an altitude of 4,700 metres, in very deep tunnels with no ventilation and hardly any oxygen, the temperature can go as high as 35°C. Despite the poisonous dust and the risk of being buried alive by a tunnel collapse, the miners tirelessly dig the rock, in a suffocating atmosphere.
Proud of his miner’s destiny, Eduardo is ready to embrace the risky life of a Potosi worker, but also dreams of a better and a safer life, far from his daily reality.
