Resumen
The relative increase in wage income and, consequently, the improvement of living standards of the Spanish popular and middle classes between 1900 and 1935 led to an increase in their savings capacity. During these years the growth of savings balances generated a retail financial market that interested commercial banks, willing to enter into competition with charitable savings banks. The Ordinance Law of the Spanish banking system of 1921 and the creation of the Spanish Banking Control Council boosted interest in this competition to control retail savings. Commercial banks used the strategy of generating, within their organizations, “savings bank departments” that offered the savings products of the savings banks (charitable- social). In this paper we reconstruct the savings captured by commercial banks. It also analyses the structure of the client liabilities of the different types of commercial bank and banking areas.

Resumen
The adoption of trawling was studied for different Spanish ports, but not for the port of Barcelona. This has led to the consideration that the fishing fleet based there was minor. However, in this paper a study on the number moored vessels and businesses tied to their management is performed. Thus, it is concluded that, although from the 1930s it may have ceased to be representative, it was not until that date. Between 1907 and the years before the Civil War the port of Barcelona had one of the largest and most modern fleets in the Peninsula, covering an important part of the consumption of fresh fish in the city. Likewise, companies in charge of its management were also involved in distribution activities.

Resumen
This article studies the Programa Conjunto para el Desarrollo Agropecuario e Industrial (1962-1965), promoted by the Consejo Federal de Inversiones – a government agency linked to planning – and the Confederación General Económica – an employer association of the national bourgeoisie. Specifically, it analyzes the link between this initiative and the expert problematizations that had been taking shape since the end of the 1950s in favor of an industrial-export reorientation of the Argentine economy. To do this, it describes the different aspects of these arguments and highlights the role played in its configuration by the driving forces of the program. As shown, these organizations officiated as favorable environments for the institutionalization of such problematizations. Thus, the conclusions of the article contribute to a better understanding of the displacement that the Argentine development model began to experience during the 1960s, which was in a direction coinciding with the balance of the controversies analyzed.

Resumen
In the mid 19th century, a select group of entrepreneurs attracted by the “mining boom”, with ties to European and Spanish trade networks, settled in the city of Huelva. This paper addresses the evolution in the long run of this business network, which was responsible for the take-off of industrialization in the province, and the complex relations between entrepreneur, firm and the environment from an integrated point of view. First, 10 family firms spanning over two periods, separated by World War I, are analysed. After that, the institutional network which supported these entrepreneurs is studied. In the last section, in view of the relevance of the mining sector in the local economy, and within a provincial scale, some reflections are presented on the dynamic relations between availability of natural resources, institutional framework and the business network.

Resumen
In the second half of the nineteenth century the cork industry mechanized the production of cork stoppers, the main and, almost, the only cork product of that time. This movement began in the midnineteenth century in the most industrialized and non-cork forest countries, threatening the dominant position of the Spanish cork industry, located mainly in Catalonia. Subsequently, from the 1880s, the Catalan industry began a rapid process of mechanization, regaining part of its global prominence in the transformation of cork. This article explores the mechanization of the Portuguese cork industry with the objective, on the one hand, of under-standing if there was a delay in relation to the Catalan process and, on the other hand, of tracing the technological modernization of the Portuguese cork industry within the general picture of Portuguese industry.

Resumen
In 1886, the Portuguese government signed a public-private partnership with a private company to build and operate a railway between Luanda and Ambaca in its overseas colony of Angola. It was expected that the partnership would benefit both parties: it would provide Angola with a powerful tool of economic development and political appropriation, and it would pay the private investment (stockholders and bondholders). However, the enterprise soon became a financial disaster with soaring construction costs and feeble operational revenues, which forced the Portuguese state to intervene. In this paper, I will analyse the evolution of the Ambaca public-private partnership from a quantitative perspective, examining the figures of its financing, operation and state aid. I will add to the debate about the relationship between state and private initiatives, through public-private partnerships in the specific context of the scramble for Africa and New Imperialism of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Resumen
Based on the information provided in the registers of inhabitants of Sant Feliu de Guíxols, Palafrugell and Palamós in 1930, the processes of emigration of workers from other towns are analysed. The transformations in the productive cork systems in the early 20th century facilitated the development of new factories of large dimensions, mechanised and with a more accentuated division of labour than that existing in the typical workshops of the previous century. The periodization of these migratory phenomena, origin, characteristics and elements of attraction of these three towns is analyzed; with the purpose of raising that the different characteristics of the factories of Sant Feliu de Guíxols propitiated the arrival of a profile of workers remarkably different from those arrived at the other two localities.
