What Was The Inca Economy Based On?

Incan economics and politics were based on Andean traditions. In order to financially support the empire, the Incas developed a somewhat Socialistic system of labor taxation. Without any form of currency, they limited the role of markets and carried out the exchange of many of their products through political channels.

The main resources available to the Inca Empire were agricultural land and labor, mines (producing precious and prestigious metals such as gold, silver or copper), and fresh water, abundant everywhere except along the desert coast.
