🚀 Day 2 of our FWF-SCARCE workshop begins!
Today, we’ll dive into the making of mineral commodities and the connections between mining and money. 🏔️⚒️💰
From Habsburg Potosí to Sweden, Idrija, and New Granada, we’ll explore mining’s role in shaping economies and societies. 🔍🌍 #Scarce #MiningHistory
Around 20 people are sitting in a conference room. Four of them are seated at the front of the room, with a projection screen behind them. The rest are seated around them at a U-shaped desk. The atmosphere seems professional, with everyone having papers or laptops on their desk.

🌍⛏️ Kicking off our FWF-SCARCE workshop “Political Economies of Mining in the Early Modern World”! Mining shaped pre-modern economies, driving global networks, commerce & power. We’ll explore its role across Africa, Asia, Latin America & Europe. Let’s dig into its global and historical impact! 💡📜

The rest od the people (the workshop participants) are sitting around them, in a U-shaped desk arrangement. The atmosphere seems to be a working one, with everybody having papers and coffee cups at their seat.
