Abstract

In this article I will try to analyze if it is possible to reinterpret the work of part of the arbitrists as a defence of the cities, because the expenses of imperial policy were destroying their wealth and political independence. Furthermore, I will argue that the «empresas políticas» devoted to economic issues must be interpreted from a mercantilist point of view.
