Description

The Report on the Tratado Especial de Comercio con Inglaterra project, published by the Industrial Institute of Catalonia in 1868, is a textual document of high economic and political value. This report analyzes the implications of a trade agreement with England, highlighting the will of Catalan industry to participate actively in European economic circuits. The document reflects the economic thinking of the 19th century and the concern for competitiveness, the protection of local production and integration in the international market. Its inclusion allows us to understand how Catalonia positioned itself in front of the great European economic debates and how the archives preserve the memory of these strategic decisions.
