Description: The study of the Trade Consulates as institutions of the old regime in the organization and representation of "Trading Elites" in the Spanish colonial empire in America provide an important tool to analyse the performance of Spanish trade policy. From this perspective, the private agents of American colonial trade and corporate institutions joined their interests and oriented the trading policy in their jurisdictional territories. To become acquainted with the internal dynamics of corporate institutions and the tensions which fragmented the corporatively represented groups is relevant to document the confrontations of political and economic elites to control the internal circuits of imperial circulation.
