Abstract
CONTI, Viviana and GUTIERREZ, Mirta. Empresarios de Los Andes de la colonia a la independencia: Dos estudios de casos de Jujuy. Am. Lat. Hist. Econ [online]. 2009, n.32, pp.135-163. ISSN 2007-3496.
This paper studies the lifetime of two businessmen from Jujuy during the period between the Colony and the early Independence: Manuel de Tezanos Pinto andjosep de Alvarado. They both became immigrants in the last Borbon period and met in the late colonial Potosi when joining the same native-net; eventually, they share by marriage. In this context, it was the nets and bonds -traced previously- the ones that allowed the subsistence and reproduction of the companies already in existence. Mercantile, native-net and family bonds are analyzed along with the different commercial strategies which used to involve the Andean space and that reveal the different options that the mercantile flows offered to the business sector.
Keywords : Trade; nets; mercantile circuits; native-nets; family.
