Abstract

El objetivo de este artículo es presentar, desde una perspectiva de historia comparada, algunos rasgos del sector exportador venezolano en la colonia, particularmente de la parte final de este periodo, considerando los efectos de esta actividad en la estructura económica, social y política, como preámbulo del proceso independentista. La hipótesis central que se pretende demostrar es que el desarrollo económico y comercial que se dio en la segunda parte del siglo XVIII generó discrepancias entre la élite productiva y la comercial. Estas contradicciones se agudizaron al final del periodo colonial, al incorporarse otros grupos sociales tradicionalmente marginados y al evidenciarse un mayor interés de las autoridades españolas coloniales y de la misma metrópoli por la región. La economía política de este proceso ¾conflicto por la distribución del excedente económico derivado del comercio exterior¾ se constituyó en un ingrediente adicional al proceso independista.
