Abstract

PINTO-BERNAL, José Joaquín  and  TORRES-MORENO, James Vladimir. War and taxation in New Granada, 1811-1824. Rev.econ.inst. [online]. 2016, vol.18, n.35, pp.171-195. ISSN 0124-5996.  https://doi.org/10.18601/01245996.v18n35.09.

The article presents an analysis of the spatial and temporal distribution of the war of independence in New Granada between 1811 and 1824. By using fresh data of individual armed encounters in the Viceroyalty, the article presents a first approach between the spatial and temporal dynamics of the war and the development of the tax system. It sets out how the magnitude of the conflict modified forms of funding and how it affected the capacity of the loyal and insurgent provinces to sustain their long-term political position.

Keywords : Viceroyalty of New Granada; Republic of Colombia; fiscal policies; economic history; War of Independence.
