La reforma monetaria del trienio liberal en España, 1820-1823: modernización y límites

Abstract

This paper aims to deepen the role played by the liberal triennial in the process of transition from traditional to modern monetary. The main sources, which the study of the monetary policy in this period is based on, in addition to other, are the acts of the parliamentary committee that during the liberal triennial deals with a draft of a reform of the monetary system inherited from the ancient regime, which results will be constrained by three factors. First, by the persistence of traditional monetary fundamentals, secondly, by difficulties in linking this monetary reform with the discussions that were taking place in the more developed countries, particularly in England, and, thirdly, the short duration of the period in which takes place and the restoration of the old monetary policy with the tariff of Tolosa in 1823.
