Resumen
From the beginning of the twentieth century, the use of differential flotation gave rise to profound changes in mining as it enabled a wider range of minerals to be processed and low-grade and complex ores to be extracted profitably. This paper analyses how this technology spread throughout Spain, especially in the Sierra de Cartagena-La Unión, where it was heavily used. The question remains, however, regarding the long delay in the incorporation of such a profitable system in Spain. We will examine the reasons for this and highlight institutional elements as the main hurdle in adopting new concentration techniques. We will also study the huge impact that large-scale flotation had on this particular mining area, where it caused one of the greatest ecological disasters ever attributed to mining

Resumen
Once upon a time, widows were most of the women in Spanish multiowner enterprises. When the male owner of the firm passed away, the widow was the first resource to use since the legislation granted half of all the wealth generated during the marriage. The rules of the Mercantile Registry, immune to the social norm that made women invisible, has allowed us to rescue the discreet memory of windows in front of companies. Using this source (Books of Firms: 1886-1919), the article provides a quantitative analysis about the widows; besides, the study claims that the widow’s role within the company could be typified. Like men, they could be active or passive investors. Some widows controlled the company; but in many cases, they served family interests, preserving the inheritance to bequeath their heirs.

Resumen
The factors of survival of the family business have been analyzed in the academic literature, where different approaches such as strategic management or economic history point to various elements as favoring the perpetuation of a company along several generations beyond their founders. In this paper, a methodological adaptation of the narrative analysis on the process of succession is applied, with a positivist case study approach of the Bodegas Alvear, a family company framed among the ten oldest in Spain. Through the study to the socioeconomic and political context of the farming and industrial sector of the Andalusia of the xviii and xix centuries, in which the four first generations of the Alvear family were developed, five key strategic factors in their survival are identified, as well as how the Alvear family solved the transit towards the new agrarian capitalism model of Andalusia.
