Abstract

Según Domar, las causas de la esclavitud o de la servidumbre pueden encontrarse en la escasez relativa de trabajo en relación con la tierra y en la intervención gubernamental que, entre 1550 y 1650, llevaron a la servidumbre al campesinado ruso, anteríormente libre. Formas similares de trabajo forzado y libre surgieron aproximadamente al mismo tiempo, aunque no en el mismo orden, en una serie de colonias periféricas, españolas y portuguesas, en América, donde la tierra era igualmente abundante en relación con el trabajo. Propongo, por lo tanto, contrastar la hipótesis de Domar verificando si sus predicciones son consistentes con la experiencia de una colonia periférica española bastante representativa, como es Paraguay. Resumiré la hipótesis en la sección 1, describiré brevemente las formas de trabajo forzado y libre que surgieron en el caso de prueba de la sección 2, contrastaré las implicaciones de la hipótesis con la evidencia empírica en la sección 3 y reformularé ciertos aspectos de la hipótesis para que sean consistentes con el caso estudiado en la sección 4.
