dc.description.abstract | 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. | |
dc.description.abstract | El presente trabajo analiza, por un lado, las propuestas socioeconómicas recogidas en la utopía anónima española del siglo XVI conocida como Omníbona, la capital del Reino de la Verdad (c.1540). Dichas propuestas se concretan en reformas del marco institucional que delimita el funcionamiento del mundo económico en dicho reino, afectando tanto al nuevo y nutrido sector público (funciones del Estado e ingresos públicos), como al sector privado (regulación del mercado). Es decir, se hace hincapié en las instituciones formales, pero sin ignorar la importancia de aquellas otras informales, como el papel desempeñado por los principios morales del cristianismo. Por otro lado, se esboza la relación existente entre las citadas propuestas reformistas planteadas en Omníbona y las recogidas en algunas obras contemporáneas españolas de destacados escolásticos, arbitristas, humanistas, reformistas sociales y tratadistas políticos. En particular, dicha relación hace referencia a tres temas específicos: la posibilidad de esclavizar a la población de nuevas tierras conquistadas, la beneficencia y erradicación de la ociosidad, y el sistema de precios tasados. | |
