Abstract

Carlos III ha gozado tradicionalmente de gran estima entre los historiadores. Richard Herr expresaba el sentir de la mayoría de éstos cuando le describió como el rey que «… hizo por España má;s que ningún otro monarca desde la reina Isabel la Católica», y al afirmar que «entre los déspotas ilustrados de su época, no hubo otro que alcanzara mayor éxito». Su fama se extiende incluso a las finanzas públicas, ruina de muchas regias reputaciones. Sin embargo, tan favorable interpretación debiera motivar cierta inquietud, particularmente en lo que concierne a los asuntos fiscales. Ciertos trabajos recientes se ban mostrado más escépticos con respecto a su reputación en general, y cabe la posibilidad de que dicha estima se deba más a los conocidos objetivos modernizadores de este reinado que a sus realizaciones.
