abstract:
This chapter aims to define the outlines of the long shadow cast by the Theórica over the three decades in question. It is divided into four sections. The first analyses Uztáriz’s core proposal for taxation, the second deals with tariffs and the customs system, and the third examines the controversial reception of both, particularly the former, among political economists and reformers of the day. The study concludes with some brief final remarks.
