| Popis: | This essay aims to present the first results of an ongoing research project devoted to study the evolution of the economic inequality in Catalonia based on different documentary sources and parameters. Here we focus on the strengths and limits of the rich fiscal sources preserved between the 14th and 18th century allowing us an analysis of inequality. This study is limited to the period before 1716 because we do not consider totally reliable connecting data from taxes before this moment, essentially focused on immovable wealth, with those from the Cadastre, which was levied on a wide range of incomes. This paper falls within the scope of two coordinated research projectes funded by the Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades: “La desigualdad económica en el mundo rural y las pequeñas ciudades de la Cataluña Vieja bajomedieval a través de las fuentes notariales” (PGC-2018-100979-B-C21) and “La desigualdad económica en las ciudades catalanas y mallorquinas durante la baja Edad Media a través de las fuentes del impuesto sobre la riqueza” (PGC-2018-100979-B-C22). It has been also prepared within the framework of the research group funded by the Generalitat de Catalunya and Associated Unit UdG-CSIC “Renda i fiscalitat a la Catalunya baixmedieval” (2017 SGR 1068). |
