Fairs and Markets in Galicia in the Late Eighteenth Century

Abstract

This paper analyses the progressive unification of the domestic market during the eighteenth century by three means. First, the intensification of commercial trade, due to the increase of authorized fairs and street markets; secondly, the performance of some others which lack official authorization; and finally, the growth of the funds provided by the taxes associated to these events. It shows that the increase in production at the end of this century provided proper circumstances for demographic growth, and that both generated an increase in the demand for and the number of mercantile exchanges. This analysis is focused on the way these factors also affected the characteristics of the domestic market of Galicia and a comparative analysis with this effect in the rest of Spain.
