Haciendas and Economic Development
Author: Richard B. Lindley
Publisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 1477304614
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 173
Book Description
Agriculture, commerce, and mining were the engines that drove New Spain, and past historians have treated these economic categories as sociological phenomena as well. For these historians, society in eighteenth-century New Spain was comprised, on the one hand, of creoles, feudalistic land barons who were natives of the New World, and, on the other, of peninsulars, progressive, urban merchants born on the Iberian peninsula. In their view, creole-peninsular resentment ultimately led to the wars for independence that took place in the American hemisphere in the early nineteenth century. Richard B. Lindley’s study of Guadalajara’s wealthy citizens on the eve of independence contradicts this view, clearly demonstrating that landowners, merchants, creoles, and peninsulars, through intermarriage, formed large family enterprises with mixed agricultural, commercial, and mining interests. These family enterprises subdued potential conflicts of interest between Spaniards and Americans, making partners of potential competitors. When the wars for national independence began in 1810, Spain’s ability to protect its colonies from outside influence was destroyed. The resultant influx of British trade goods and finance shook the structure of colonial society, as abundant British capital quickly reduced the capital shortage that had been the main reason for large-scale, diversified family businesses. Elite family enterprises survived, but became less traditional and more specialized institutions. This transformation from traditional, personalized community relations to modern, anonymous corporations, with all that it implied for government and productivity, constitutes the real revolution that began in 1810.

Hacienda and Market in Eighteenth-century Mexico
Author: Eric Van Young
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 9780742553569
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 460
Book Description
This classic history of the Mexican hacienda from the colonial period through the nineteenth century has been reissued in a silver anniversary edition complete with a substantive new introduction and foreword. Eric Van Young explores 150 years of Mexico's economic and rural development, a period when one of history's great empires was trying to extract more resources from its most important colony, and when an arguably capitalist economy was both expanding and taking deeper root. The author explains the development of a regional agrarian system, centered on the landed estates of late colonial Mexico, the central economic and social institution of an overwhelmingly rural society.

Landlords & Haciendas in Modernizing Mexico
Author: Simon Miller
Publisher: Purdue University Press
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
The Mexican Revolution has been generally depicted and analyzed as a popular agrarian revolt against the oppressive hacienda. As a corollary it has also been characterised as the crucible of a new agrarian bourgeoisie which emerged to take the Mexican countryside out of the dark feudal ages bequeathed by Spain. In all such accounts the hacienda appears as an archaic institution responsible for both social repression and economic stagnation. This book turns such theses upside down and makes the argument that the Porfirian hacienda in central Mexico was a progressive adaptation to adverse circumstances that had accomplished much of the transition to agrarian capitalism by 1910.
