- Abstract:
- The new economic realities that arose from the Spanish presence in America produced a lively debate as part of the Indian Controversies of the sixteenth century. Two important theoreticians, the Dominican friar Bartolomé de las Casas (1484-1566) and the Jesuit José de Acosta (1540-1600) differed from one another in important ways, but nonetheless they coincided in subordinating the economy and the use of wealth to ethics. Their knowledge of the mercantile practices and uses established in America permitted them to evaluate those practices with a powerful realism. ******* Las nuevas realidades económicas surgidas por la presencia española en América produjeron una viva discusión en las controversias indianas del siglo XVI. Dos importantes teóricos, el dominico Bartolomé de las Casas (1484-1566) y el jesuita José de Acosta (1540-1600), pese a sus diferencias e intereses coincidirán en subordinar la economía y el uso de las riquezas a la ética. Su conocimiento de las prácticas mercantiles y usos establecidos en América les permiten evaluar dichas prácticas con un gran realismo.
