Abstract


The article examines the role played by commercial companies participating in eighteenth century colonial trade in the efforts of the Crown to open the American market to the products of the fledgling Spanish industry. Through an analysis of Madrid's five major guilds, it is shown that these companies not only transported Spanish manufactures to America but also managed to penetrate the internal structure of the colonial world. The study is based on sources in the General Archive of the Indies in Seville, the General Archive of the Nation in Lima, and the British Library in London.
