MESA BEDOYA, Ana María. Buyers of “Rumors” and Other Goods: Relations Between Customers and Importers in Antioquia in the Second Half of the Nineteenth-Century. Anu.hist.reg.front. [online]. 2021, vol.26, n.2, pp.429-457.  Epub 30-Maio-2021. ISSN 0122-2066.  https://doi.org/10.18273/revanu.v26n2-2021014.

The import trade in Antioquia during the second half of the Nineteenth-cen- tury was based on the development of relationships of trust between large importers of goods and customers, who were in turn small and medium-sized business distribu- tors of the foreign products. The article studies the economic relationships between merchants and customers; it addresses the forms of purchase and payment of goods and the social mechanisms that served to reinforce values such as honor, honesty, and trust. The research, of a qualitative nature, is based primarily on the epistolary corre- spondence of the merchants Uribe Ruiz de Rionegro, Antioquia. This source allowed us to see how the circulation of information, personal recommendations, and social and economic pressures were part of the daily operation of the market.
