| Summary: | In the last twenty years the contributions of the new historiography to the studies of early modern history and economic history of modern times have substantially transformed conceptualizations made on the American territories dominated by the Spaniard Monarchy. The contributions of Kenneth Pomeranz, Dennis Flynn and Arturo Giráldez give up the Eurocentric perspective to accept that the world of the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries is polycentric or at least Asian Centric.Meanwhile, the research in political history not only collapsed the old Weber State that life had influenced the colonial order, but saw the emergence of new political forms, which some deserve the name of kingdoms, eliminating the "heritage" of the conquest and colonization. This article proposes an explanatory tour that identifies the main contributions of the economic and early modern time’s history that reverse the great historiographical constructs established by the early modern and economic history of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. |
