The great economic and political changes in the Río de la Plata of the late 1700s penetrated not only Buenos Aires and the interior of present-day Argentina, but upriver the hitherto neglected province of Paraguay shared the reforms of the Intendant system and economic liberalization. Those changes, along with the expulsion of the Jesuits, produced a shift in the economy of this region from the Paraná-Tebicuary area to the northern frontier of that province. The impelling economic motive for that shift was the north's greater ability to meet the demand for Paraguay's primary export, yerba mate. By the 1780s, northern Paraguay experienced a greater exploitation of yerbales, both to the benefit of independent entrepreneurs and government revenues.

ABSTRACTThis article explores the impact of Asian goods in the Rio de la Plata area through the navigation course of two frigates of the Royal Company of Phillipines, forced by the maritime conflict between the Spanish and British Empires, dock in the Southern estuary. Examining the value and traits of the shipment and the details of the ‘comercio de pacotilla’, this study analyzes the distribution of the goods from China, Philippines and in particular, India, in the port basin, the hinterland of the Viceroyalty, and its connections to the Alto Peruvian space, the trans-Andean region, and the Littoral way to Paraguay. This episode enables an understanding of the distribution of goods, as well as a more detailed recognition of the actors of this traffic and a renewed evaluation of the role of the company in the global market of Asian goods.

La administración de las temporalidades jesuitas rioplatenses ha sido abordada por la historiografía a partir del análisis de estudios de caso que han precisado la naturaleza de los cambios económicos generados por el extrañamiento en los espacios ocupados por la Compañía. Estas investigaciones interpretaron la actuación de los funcionarios desde el prisma de la corrupción colonial, señalando fraudes y malversaciones pero sin detenerse en analizar los mecanismos que a nivel micro se implementaron para beneficiar a los intereses vernáculos. Nuestra investigación estudia una de estas dinámicas focalizando el análisis en los censos otorgados por las temporalidades porteñas. Puntualmente, reconstruimos las transacciones crediticias autorizadas por las Juntas de Buenos Aires, identificando actores sociales intervinientes, montos de los capitales otorgados, plazos de pago y réditos estipulados a fin de evaluar desde esta perspectiva el impacto del reformismo en el desarrollo de la economía regional.Palabras clave: Río de la Plata, temporalidades, censos, deudas.“Of the flowery flow that was in caxa”:The Administration of the Capitals of the Branch of JesuitTemporalities in Buenos Aires, 1767-1803AbstractThe administration of the Jesuits Temporalities of Río de la Plata has been approached by historiography from the analysis of case studies that have specified the nature of the economic changes generated by the estrangement in the spaces occupied by the Company. These investigations interpreted the actions of the officials from the perspective of colonial corruption, pointing out frauds and embezzlements but without analyzing the mechanisms that were implemented at the micro level to benefit the vernacular interests. Our research studies one of these dynamics focusing the analysis in the censuses granted by the Temporalities of Buenos Aires. Punctually, we reconstruct the credit transactions authorized by the Boards of Buenos Aires, identifying social actors involved, amounts of capitals granted, payment terms and stipulated revenues in order to evaluate the impact of reformism on the development of the regional economy from this perspective.Keywords: Río de la Plata, temporalities, censuses, debts“O florido caudal que estava em caixa”: A administração dos capitais da classe de temporalidades jesuítas em Buenos Aires, 1767-1803.ResumoA administração das Temporalidades jesuítas rio-platenses foi abordada pela historiografia a partir da análise de estudos de caso que esclareceram a natureza das mudanças económicas causadas pelos desterros nos espaços ocupados pela Companhia. Estas investigações interpretaram a ação dos funcionários desde o prisma da corrupção colonial, sinalando fraudes e malversações, mas sem se deter para analisar os mecanismos realizados no nível micro, para beneficiar os interesses vernáculos. Nossa pesquisa estuda uma destas dinâmicas focando a análise nos censos outorgados pelas Temporalidades Portenhas. Especificamente, reconstruímos as operações de crédito autorizadas pelos Conselhos de Buenos Aires identificando atores sociais envolvidas, monto do capital concedido, prazos de pagamento e as utilidades estipuladas para avaliar dessa perspectiva o impacto do reformismo no desenvolvimento da economia regional.Palavras-chave: Rio da Prata, temporalidades, censos, dívidas
