Awarded the Jaume Vicens Vives Prize by the Spanish Association of
Economic History, this study analyses the development of the
Spanish domestic market from 1650 to 1800, which transformed the
country from a pseudocolonial territory, politically and
economically dependent on its European neighbours, to a significant
European power. The Emergence of a National Market in Spain,
1650-1800 places Spain firmly in a European context, arguing that
the origins of a sophisticated economy must be understood through
the complex diplomacy of the period, namely the competition between
Britain and France for dominance in the Iberian peninsula. It was
in response to this rivalry that the Spanish state actively
promoted the conditions for economic development in the 18th
century, aided by autonomous commercial networks of Catalan
merchants, Navarrese tradesmen and migrant French businessmen. This
original interpretation by one of Spain's leading economic
historians, available in English for the first time, is
indispensable reading for students and scholars of Spanish history.
