JUMAR, Fernando  e  PAREDES, Isabel. El comercio intrarregional en el complejo portuario rioplatense: el contrabando visto a través de los comisos, 1693-1777. Am. Lat. Hist. Econ [online]. 2008, n.29, pp.31-96. ISSN 2007-3496.

Focusing on the confiscations made by the Spanish authorities of the Río de la Plata during XVIIIth century, this paper approaches the mercantile exchange and its control through the analysis of a wide range of subjects. In order to complete the most traditional visions, centered on great merchants, this includes the smallest scale ("ant") contraband, as well as the agents in charge of its apprehension. The analysis of confiscations contributes with a new element to the study of the fragile balance of interests that ruled life in the Río de la Plata Port Complex. It also sheds light on the strategies of their inhabitants to maximize the economic opportunities that it offered.

Palavras-chave : Río de la Plata; contraband trade; XVIIIth century.
