Abstract

Este artículo examina la evolución y financiamiento de la Real Hacienda de Chile de las últimas décadas coloniales a través de informes elaborados por contadores de las contadurías mayores de esta capitanía y Perú. Los resultados muestran que el crecimiento del tesoro chileno se explicó tanto por el buen desempeño económico como por las medidas fiscales derivadas de las reformas emprendidas, sobre todo tras adoptarse las Ordenanzas de Intendentes (1786-1787). Como conscuencia, el erario regio chileno se engrosó mediante una recaudación cada vez mayor de contribuciones directas, en contraste a otros espacios hispanoamericanos donde aquellas indirectas marcaron el curso de la hacienda. Aunque sin prescindir del componente fiscal regresivo, tal como se confirma en el 40% que representó de este erario el conjunto de ramos que gravó el consumo arraigado de > de la población chilena, lo que indica una profunda mercantilización de los hogares de menores ingresos.
