This study analyzes the development of the Spanish domestic market from 1650 to 1800, transforming it from a pseudocolonial territory to a significant European power.

The Jaume Vicens Vives Prize, bestowed upon this study by the Spanish Association of Economic History, delves into the intricate evolution of the Spanish domestic market from 1650 to 1800. This transformative period saw Spain transition from a pseudocolonial territory, politically and economically reliant on its European neighbors, to a formidable European power. In The Emergence of a National Market in Spain, 1650-1800, Spain is positioned within a European framework, contending that the roots of a sophisticated economy must be unraveled through the intricate diplomacy of the era. Specifically, the book explores the intense rivalry between Britain and France for dominance in the Iberian peninsula, which sparked the Spanish state to actively foster the conditions for economic development in the 18th century. This pioneering interpretation, penned by one of Spain's foremost economic historians, is now accessible in English for the first time, making it an essential resource for students and scholars of Spanish history.

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.
