    The debate over the enslavement of Indians and Africans in the sixteenth and seventeenth-century Spanish empire
    (A Companion to Early Modern Spanish Imperial Political and Social Thought, 2020) Perdices Blas, Luis; Ramos Gorostiza, José Luis; Tellkamp, Jörg
    El objeto de este capítulo es el estudio de las dos etapas en las que se desarrolló el debate sobre la esclavitud en el Imperio español durante los siglos XVI y XVII, debate en el que la distinción aristotélica entre esclavitud natural y legal desempeñó un papel principal. En la primera etapa se discutió sobre la esclavitud de los indios, y en dicha discusión participaron tanto el maestro de la Escuela de Salamanca Francisco de Vitoria y sus discípulos, como el activista Bartolomé de las Casas y el cronista y erudito Juan Ginés de Sepúlveda, que mantuvieron una intensa polémica fuera de las aulas universitarias. En la segunda etapa, Domingo de Soto, Tomás de Mercado, Bartolomé Frías de Albornoz, Francisco García y Luis de Molina, entre otros, discutieron sobre la trata de esclavos africanos. En ninguna de estas dos etapas los arbitristas prestaron atención alguna a la esclavitud.

    Economy, Reform and Utopia in Omníbona, The Capital of the Kingdom of Truth (c. 1540)
    (History of Economic Ideas, 2019) Perdices Blas, Luis; Ramos Gorostiza, José Luis
    This paper analyzes the socioeconomic proposals set out in the anonymous 16th-century Spanish utopia known as Omníbona, the Capital of the Kingdom of Truth (c. 1540). These proposals specifically address reforms to the institutional framework that defines how the economic world works in that kingdom. They affect both the new and large public sector (State functions and public revenue), and the private sector (market regulation). Special emphasis is placed on formal institutions, but the importance of other informal ones, such as the role played by Christian moral principles, is not ignored. Additionally, this work examines the relationship between the aforementioned reforms suggested in Omníbona and those included in other contemporary Spanish works by notable scholastics, arbitristas, humanists, social reformers, and political treatise writers. In particular, this relationship revolves round three specific matters: the possibility of enslaving the populations of the newly-conquered territories, charity and the eradication of idleness, and the system of fixed prices.
