SOLANO D, Sergio Paolo. Tax Expenditure and Investments in Free Labor in Latin America. The Case of Cartagena de Indias (1750-1810). Anu.hist.reg.front. [online]. 2019, vol.24, n.2, pp.195-232.  Epub 31-Jul-2019. ISSN 0122-2066.  https://doi.org/10.18273/revanu.v24n2-2019008.

In the framework of the recent debates on the nature of the monarchy and the Spanish empire, the military fiscal state and the characteristics of fiscal spending, this article presents some ideas on historiography that has referred to some issues that in some way touch on aspects related to investments in the colonies and with the demand for labor by the crown institutions. I am interested to see, on the one hand, to what extent these studies modify a long historiographical tradition about the relations between the Spanish crown and its possessions in Spanish America, and, on the other hand, as the case of Cartagena de Indias is located in these debates and how can it help to better understand, and at the level of a locality, some social consequences of the Bourbon reforms.

Palavras-chave : Cartagena de Indias; Bourbon reforms; Fiscal spending; Defense system; Workers; Investments; Salaries.
