RESUMEN

La Ilustración en España se caracterizó por emprender grandes empresas a instancias del Estado. Una de las principales iniciativas fue la creación de dos proyectos modelos en Andalucía, denominados «Nuevas Poblaciones de Andalucía» y «Nuevas Poblaciones de Sierra Morena», que trataron de hacer productivas grandes extensiones, introduciendo nuevas tecnologías agrícolas así como poblar los caminos de acceso a Andalucía para evitar el bandolerismo.

Este trabajo analiza, basándose en documentación primaria, cómo se diseñó y utilizó el sistema contable y de control y las influencias ejercidas sobre el mismo por los discursos económicos preponderantes en la corte borbónica. Ello puede argumentarse en dos razones. De un lado, las características del proyecto motivaron la emergencia de técnicas de control y sistemas de información que difieren del ánimo de lucro que destacan en la literatura. Asimismo, su carácter experimental, que perseguía un éxito político, social y económico generó unos sistemas de control únicos.

ABSTRACT

Enlightenment at Spain enhanced the improvement of great enterprises supported by the State. One of the main features was the creation of two model projects at Andalucia, called «New Settlements of Andalucia» and «New Settlements of Sierra Morena», which tried to make productive large fields, introducing new agricultural techniques and also to settle approach roads to Andalucia that avoided attacks on bullion transports.

This work is based, mainly, in primary sources and it analyses how was designed and used the accounting and control systems and the influences that pervaded those by the economic discourses of the bourbon court. It can be argued because of two main reasons. On one side, the special features of the project, made emerge techniques of information and control that are far from the profit, which are remarked at literature. Also, its experimental nature, that aimed the political, social and economical success developed unique control systems.
