Abstract

Between the 1580s and the middle of the 17th century, the Kingdom of Naples — then a Viceroyalty part of the so-called Spanish Habsburg empire — went through a series of economic crises whose causes and management became the subject of lively debates among Neapolitan and Spanish administrators, merchants, foreign bankers, and observers of political and economic events. This Italian kingdom had a central role in the organization of the Spanish economic and political power having contributed with capital and in kind to the consolidation of the Habsburgs’ hold on large part of Europe and expansion in the New World.
