this part?

OpenStudy (babbykk):

The early Aztec economy consisted of a type of barter system as this was a pre-capitalist society. Minor purchases were made with cacao beans imported from lowlands. In the marketplaces, a small rabbit might have been worth 30 beans, an egg cost 3 beans while larger purchases of cloth could range from 65 to 300 cacao beans. The highly developed empire had an elaborate leadership and society that consisted of four classes. Nobles (highest in power) Commoners (the majority of population, were mostly farmers) Serfs (worked land for the nobles) Slaves (consisted of those captured and indebted who couldn’t pay) Governmental office positions were usually inherited, but one could be awarded an office through exemplary service to the emperor. Slavery was quite common. Aztec communities were heavily dependent upon agriculture with corn being the central crop; though they also relied somewhat on hunting and gathering. Crop surpluses were stored and used during hard times. The Aztec also had sophisticated irrigation systems, allowing them to farm otherwise dry lands. They farmed shallow lakes by scooping up mud and forming islands called chinampas. These islands provided very fertile land that was profitable for growing crops.

did you figure it out?@Bigbosssaint21

OpenStudy (babbykk):

?

OpenStudy (bigbosssaint21):

Slaves being the lowest social class of Aztec civilization would have boosted the economy by having an entire portion of the populous being subjected to the more tedious and lesser tasks, such as construction and providing manpower for many other projects that otherwise would have to be paid for, but with slaves the labor is free allowing the money to be used in other places.
