Finanças, Economia e Instituições no Portugal Moderno: (séculos XVI-XVIII)

This book assembles unpublished studies which intend to open new paths on Economic and Financial History in Portugal, between the 16 th and 18th centuries. We have gathered young scholars from different, who attempt to open a window to the past through ten case-studies.
These studies range from the metropole to the overseas, from institutional financial managing to commercial network structuring, and to the economic importance of landlords, municipalities, lay brotherhoods (Misericórdias) and religious tribunals (Inquisition). Therefore, this book allows understanding the centrality of economic structures and the construction of the Portuguese kingdom during the Early Modern Age.
