DEL CARPIO-PENAGOS, Carlos Uriel. Production and Trade of Tobacco in Central America by the End of the Colonial Period. LiminaR [online]. 2014, vol.12, n.2, pp.195-208. ISSN 2007-8900.
This paper examines the circumstances of the emergence of the Real income of tobacco in Guatemala in April 1766. Tobacco came to represent one of the most important areas of the economy of the Audiencia of Guatemala just below what produced the tribute from the Indians and Alcabala taxes, while since the implementation of the Royal monopoly was subject of a strong contraband. It also allowed the emergence of a vast, powerful and corrupt bureaucracy that mainly committed abuses against the indigenous population and generated conflicts with other officials in the audience.
Palabras llave : income from tobacco; economy; colonial period.
