LAS PÓLIZAS DE SEGUROS Y EL PRÉSTAMO EN EL COMERCIO MARÍTIMO GALLEGO: 1525-1640

Abstract

This article treats about the subject that it titles this work, supposing that only a proffesional trade is able to generate financial and security circles that endorse their operations. This facet is reserved to the few professional merchants seated in Galicia or strangers who demands merchandize or services of the local mareantes. The local seamanship does not escape of the social and economic model who presides the relations of an autarkic society, like of the Galicia, with few external demand, except the bred in the bad agrarian years and the salt.
