Abstract

Este artículo se enmarca dentro de la profunda revisión del papel de los gremios que está teniendo lugar en Europa desde hace al menos 2 décadas. La realidad corporativa era diversa, de modo que el vaciado de 3.343 cartas de examen de oficiales que pasaron a ser maestros en el Madrid del siglo XVIII permite sostener que no hubo un solo camino hacia la maestría y que el grueso de la mano de obra cualificada de la ciudad ni procedía de esta ni sus padres pertenecían a las corporaciones a las que accedían sus hijos. En Madrid, la reproducción de los gremios estuvo muy vinculada con los requerimientos políticos, lo que no impidió que las corporaciones organizasen sus propios mercados de trabajo cualificado. Estos datos cuestionan la explicación canónica que sitúa la endogamia corporativa como la causa principal de la crisis del sistema gremial. KEY Classification-JEL: N33. N63. N90. N93.
