The Ministry of Finance in Danger. Political Conflicts around the Right Government of Finances in 1740

Abstract

We study a stage of crisis in the construction of an institutional model of government of Finances, focusing on the activity of the Junta de Hacienda (1740). It is the most acute point of a conflict generated after Patiño’s death among the Ministers in charge of the «distribution of flows» of the king. Likewise, the Junta tries to solve the difficulties caused by the suspension of payments of 1739, restoring the confidence of businessmen. Both concerns lead to an original institutional project –though it’s a failure– different from the ideals of collegial government. Beyond the form of the institutions, the study of the argumentation of the people helps to reconstruct the political meaning of their projects.
