“…40 This granted more power to the authorities in charge of collecting these duties and taxes, particularly the regidores, local officials in charge of the finances of the community who, in turn, consolidated their rentier interests and speculated on the value of land. 41 Faced with these changes in the peninsula's social fabric, Scholastic thinkers of the period, like Fernando Vázquez de Menchaca, felt the need to remind the King that his authority rested on consensus populi. 42 The Dutch Revolt fundamentally changed Spanish political culture.…”

This article studies how a plan to reinvent the Spanish parliamentary Cortes generated the growth of eighteenth-century Spanish political economy. The article sheds light on how eighteenth-century Spanish debates over investment, assemblies, and corporations recovered parliamentary ideals, envisioned corporate boards of transnational cooperation, and deliberated on the political economy of patriotism. Contrary to the dominant historiographical view, Spanish republicanism did not wane under the Bourbon Monarchy. In order to resolve the social and economic impact of dynastic crises in the Spanish Empire, political economists argued that the establishment of corporations throughout the peninsula could republicanise Spanish finances and revitalise trust in the Spanish Monarchy. The article reconsiders early modern Spain's republican and parliamentary traditions, and suggests that eighteenthcentury Spanish political economy emerged from the need to escape the cycles of dynastic crises and to put an end to 'the fear of the new'.

“…Crown also helped Aristocracy facilitando que obtained liquidity using its main wealth, what was linked to mayorazgo. In this case, the support of the Crown was necessary because properties linked to mayorazgo could not be sold nor mortgaged without an special royal licence (Jago, 1973). Although originally, the permissions were justified to allow the nobles to support the King, it was extended quickly to other aristocratic needs.…”

Testing the stakeholders approach for historical cases of private patrimonies. The Osuna Ducal Estate (1590-1633)

The main aim of this paper is to test the validity of the stakeholder approach in a historical context different to the one in which it was originally developed. Specifically the late 16 th and early 17 th centuries. Furthermore, the paper applies this framework to the management of a private wealth, the Osuna ducal Estate, which is also a singularity with regards to previous works that have used this approach. For this purpose, we focus on the identification and salience of stakeholders. From 1590 onwards, the ducal Estate wealth was seized by the Government due to its high level of indebtedness. Since the changes in the ducal Estate management and accounting were promoted by creditors and the Crown, it seems that the stakeholder approach could be useful to analyse the case. RESUMENEl objetivo de este trabajo es poner a prueba la validez de la aproximación de los stakeholders en un contexto histórico diferente en el que no ha sido usado habitualmente. En concreto finales del siglo XVI y principios del XVII. Además el trabajo aplica este marco a la gestión de un patrimonio privado, la Casa ducal de Osuna, lo que supone también una singularidad respecto a trabajos anteriores que han usado esta aproximación. Para ello, nos centramos en la identificación y la prominencia de los stakeholders. Desde 1590 en adelante, el 1 Author is grateful to the reviewers of previous drafts, of the Working Paper version, and to the financial support of Spanish Science Ministry (Research Project ECO 2008-06052) and the Andalusian Regional Government (Excellence Project SEJ 4129) Jesús D.

Dado que los cambios en la gestión y la contabilidad de dicho patrimonio fueron promovidos por los acreedores y la Corona, parece que el enfoque de los stakeholders podría ser útil para analizar el caso.

“…Half a million German laborers had left the east in less than a decade; as \V eber said, "in the dull, half-conscious drive to go away lies a measure of primitive idealism: whoever cannot fathom it, does not know• the magic of freedom." 40 The landowners of East Elbia knew neither the magic of freedom nor the imperatives of national policy. In the perspective of the day, to augment the Polish element in the exposed frontier regions of the Reich was a precarious undertak ing.…”

REVIEWS | 551atically assembled or accurate governmental records, Chatelain's work is a pioneering contribution, which regional historians, demographers, and sociologists will want to consult frequently. Its over I,IOO pages of garrulous, redundant prose guarantee that hardly anyone will read it through entirely; since it has no index, only its detailed subtitles rescue it from oblivion. The reader lays it aside with a sense of bewilderment, yet with a firm impression of a society that was a swarming ant-hill of confusion, of migratory paths crisscrossing, running together, branching out, but slowly and steadily being drawn to the towns and away from the highlands. It definitively lays to rest cliches about sedentary villagers or a timeless rural France.This book consists of five lectures on landed elites and a comparative essay by the editor. Each lecturer was asked to discuss "how his particular landed elite coped with the difficulties of the I9th Century; how it accommodated itself to the aspirations of new elites; how, in short, it managed to survive as well or badly as it did" (i). In responding, using traditional methods, each tends to emphasize features and characteristics peculiar either to his subject or his interests, thus offering little basis of comparison.F. M. L. Thompson, writing on Britain, concentrates on what he calls the "aristocratic embrace," a process by which the aristocracy succeeded in "gobbling up" highly selected "new men" without land, men who could strengthen and help maintain the preponderance of the landed elite till I914. Thus men like Herbert Henry Asquith were simply absorbed into the elite. Fritz Stern, writing on Prussia, concerns himself only with the Junkers. He finds that their survival depended not only on their toughness and adaptability but on their success in having "their values generally accepted" in society, especially by "an upper stratum of bureaucrats, academics, bankers and merchants" who were "assimilated to privilege" (56).Jerome Blum, writing on Russia, unequivocally states that, unlike its peers in other lands, "the nobility of Russia owed its prominence to the civil and military functions that it performed in the service of the Tsar and not to the ownership of land" (68). Recruitment into the nobility came mainly by way of promotion through the ranks of the civil service. Outside of the Tsar's service, the nobility, Blum holds, was in a state of disintegration, not able to adapt to the social and...
