Abstract

José María de Salamanca y Mayol (23 de mayo de 1811 - 21 de enero de 1883) fue una destacada figura política, aristócrata y social, y un importante hombre de negocios del siglo XIX. En este artículo vamos a analizar la evolución del patrimonio de José de Salamanca hasta su primer embargo y quiebra producidos en los años 1848 y 1849 respectivamente. El artículo intenta resolver el interrogante de si José de Salamanca entró en el gobierno de España para mejorar su mala situación económico-financiera, como argumentaban sus enemigos, o entró en una situación económico-financiera negativa por los ataques políticos tras su salida del gobierno, como defendía él. Nuestra conclusión es que ambas se produjeron, ya que tenía problemas económicos cuando entró en el gobierno, pero el exilio y la persecución política le terminó arruinando. Abstract: José María de Salamanca y Mayol (May 23, 1811 - January 21, 1883) was a prominent political, aristocratic, and social figure, and an important businessman of the 19th century. In this article, we analyze the evolution of José de Salamanca's assets until his first seizure and bankruptcy, which occurred in 1848 and 1849, respectively. The article attempts to answer the question of whether José de Salamanca entered the Spanish government to improve its poor economic and financial situation, as his enemies argued, or whether he entered a negative economic and financial situation due to political attacks after leaving the government, as he claimed. Our conclusion is that both occurred, as he was facing financial problems when he entered government, but exile and political persecution ultimately ruined him.
