FANDOS, Cecilia Alejandra  y  PAROLO, María Paula. Personal Wealth and Investment Accounts: Tucuman, Argentina, 1860-1870. Am. Lat. Hist. Econ [online]. 2014, vol.21, n.2, pp.199-232. ISSN 2007-3496.

This work is part of a larger project which studies the distribution and composition of wealth in the state of Tucuman during the nineteenth century. The chronological cut corresponds to a turning point because the '60s are representative of the final stages of a transition process in the economy and provincial society, process that led, in the '70s, in a new production model imposed by the sugar industry. This time we intend to deepen the analysis of the composition of capital by investment categories (land, livestock, trade, manufacture) and wealth segments (the richest, moderately rich, and less wealthy) in the Capital department which focused on both the commercial activities such as a significant manufacturing and agricultural development.

Palabras llave : wealth distribution; personal wealth.
