Abstract

Confieso la desazón que me produce esa especie de determinismo ecológico que habla de un dinamismo urbano y de una pasividad rural, de acuerdo con la lógica «smitheana» de suponer que la esfera comercial —en virtud de la lógica de un progreso natural y poco conflictivo— fue la causa del incremento de la productividad, del desarrollo agrario y de los cambios demográficos, institucionales o de conducta. Este canto al deus ex machina del intercambio ignora que la fragmentación de la soberanía feudal compatibiliza la existencia de una economía rural y de una economía urbana. Es más, si se despieza la realidad serían los campesinos quienes transformarían la renta feudal, estimulando con ello la producción independiente de mercancías, tal como sugiere J. Merrington y E. Sereni, en un recorrido que arranca de Marx y pasa por M. Dobb.
