Supply, Demand, And The Making Of A Market: Philadelphia And Havana At The Beginning Of The Nineteenth Century, Linda Salvucci
Supply, Demand, And The Making Of A Market: Philadelphia And Havana At The Beginning Of The Nineteenth Century, Linda Salvucci
Linda K Salvucci
In his 1984 assessment of the state of historical research, "The Transatlantic Economy," Jacob Price comments: "The writing of most early American economic history has concentrated upon supply. For many branches of the economy, the great unexplored frontier may well be demand." The relationship between Philadelphia and Havana is a case in point. From the onset of the American Revolution until well past the end of the Napoleonic Wars, the port cities of Havana and Philadelphia were inextricably linked. As their own rich hinterlands expanded, and as established transatlantic trade routes disintegrated, Havana and Philadelphia grew ever closer, exerting profound …

The breadth, depth, and persistence of political instability in independent Mexico have long been the object of historians' attention. "Mexico," writes one, "experimented with monarchy, moderate constitutional republic, radical populist regime, conservative government, and liberal government; each in turn failed to produce stability." From 1824 through 1853, Mexico experienced the "institutionalized disorder" of "manifold pronunciamientos . . . endless cabinet changes, and several lurches to the political left or right." Repeatedly invaded, blockaded, partitioned, and plunged into civil war between 1835 and 1867, Mexico was for most of its early history more a geographical expression than a political one. "The …

Crecimiento Económico Y Cambio De La Productividad En México, 1750-1895, Richard Salvucci, Linda Salvucci

La relación entre la administración política y el crecimiento económico sigue siendo una preocupación central de las distintas pero relacionadas historiografías de México al final de la Colonia, de comienzos de la República y de fines del siglo XIX. Debido a que las reformas de los Borbones coincidieron con las mayores transformaciones'' en la economía de Nueva España, estos dos procesos son frecuentemente percibidos en términos de causa y efecto, con cambios administrativos ejerciendo influencias positivas sobre muchos sectores y actividades económicas. Para el período de la Independencia, cuando el transtorno social y la inestabilidad política eran contemporáneas con el …

When Josiah Blakeley, consul of the United States at Santiago de Cuba, wrote these lines to Secretary of State James Madison on November 1, 1801 he had recently been jailed by administrators on that island. This remarkable situation notwithstanding, his sentiments still neatly express the paradox of trade between the United States and Spanish Caribbean ports. The expanding hinterlands of New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore furnished North American merchants with ever increasing, exportable food supplies and led to fierce competition for new markets at the end of the eighteenth century. At the same time, Spain's American colonies remained chronically, often …
