Coster, and of his wife, Adeline E. Post, both of New York City, 1926 (26.145.94) The field of arms and armor is beset with romantic legends, gory myths, and widely held misconceptions. Their origins usually are to be found in a lack of knowledge of, and experience with, genuine objects and their historical background. Most of them are utter nonsense, devoid of any historical base.
Perhaps the most infamous example is the notion that "knights had to be hoisted into their saddles with a crane," which is as absurd as it is persistent even among many historians. The following text will attempt to correct some of the most popular misconceptions, and to answer some of the questions most frequently asked by the public during guided tours of the Museum's arms and armor galleries. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Mercantilism in Spain - Murray N. Rothbard - Mises Daily - StumbleUpon. The seeming prosperity and glittering power of Spain in the 16th century proved a sham and an illusion in the long run.
For it was fuelled almost completely by the influx of silver and gold from the Spanish colonies in the New World. In the short run, the influx of bullion provided a means by which the Spanish could purchase and enjoy the products of the rest of Europe and Asia; but in the long run, price inflation wiped out this temporary advantage. The result was that when the influx of specie dried up, in the 17th century, little or nothing remained. Not only that — the bullion prosperity induced people and resources to move to southern Spain, particularly the port of Seville, where the new specie entered Europe.
The result was malinvestment in Seville and the south of Spain, offset by the crippling of potential economic growth in the north. But that was not all. Spanish agriculture in the 16th century was also crippled and laid waste by government intervention. 38 Vintage Political Posters of World War II - StumbleUpon.
