Abstract
MARTINEZ, Pablo F.. The enlightened agrarian thought in the Río de la Plata: a study of Semanario de Agricultura, Industria y Comercio (1802-1807). Mundo agr. [online]. 2009, vol.9, n.18, pp.00-00. ISSN 1515-5994.
We carefully study the Semanario de Agricultura, Industria y Comercio, edited by Juan Hipólito Vieytes from 1802 to 1807, in order to expose the main lines of the reformist enlightened thought. Specifically, we analyse the new economical ideas, which were gradually incorporating liberalism through physiocratic and classical Smithian thought. Even more specifically, proposals for betterment and growth of agrarian production produced by this reformist thought are considered. We also analyse different aspects of the newly born journalistic discourse, such as its dissemination´s strategy and the actors involved, the emphasis on practical knowledge and the transmission of European ideas, and the changes that took place in the periodical itself.
Keywords : Modernisation; History of economical thought; Enlightenment; Technological change.
