Abstract

Este artigo apresenta as propostas de reformas de D. Luís da Cunha (1662-1749) no contexto da transição do Seiscentos para o Setecentos no Império português. Para tanto, o artigo principia com a contextualização das mudanças no balanço de poder e no pensamento político associadas à emergência da Grã-Bretanha como Império centralizador dos eventos do século XVIII. Nessa transição importantes desdobramentos intelectuais estão em processo como, por exemplo, a ascensão da Economia Política como disciplina autônoma e sua relevância para a gestão dos interesses do Reino e do Império. Segue-se com a caracterização das reformas propostas por D. Luís da Cunha que visavam, em linha com a tradição mercantilista, elevar o poder relativo de Portugal. Dessa forma, D. Luís elenca a necessidade de incrementar o contingente populacional, seja no Reino, seja nos domínios de ultramar, facilitar os fluxos de mercadorias e de moedas, reduzir certos privilégios e, até mesmo, de rever os estatutos da Inquisição.
