Resumen
During the first two decades of the 20th century the Cerro Muriano copper mines (Córdoba, Spain), by that time already famous due to the abundant remains of ancient workings preserved there, were developed on an industrial scale by several English investors, who entrusted the management of their enterprise to the prestigious London-based agency John Taylor & Sons. This article comprises a concise microeconomic analysis of the venture, which then forms the basis for a more generalised consideration of two international historic phenomena: the economic colonialism which led to the world-wide proliferation of this type of mining operations; and the resultant “proto-globalization” of economic, technological and social systems around the mining world.

Resumen
Spanish cork stoppers manufacture, mainly located in the Girona region, was strongly export-based in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This made it exceptional among the other branches of Spanish industry. Moreover, the cork sector made an important contribution to Spanish exports during this period. This article studies a key issue that is necessary to understand the export success of this industry: the characteristics and the development of the firms’ commercial networks. First, we have analyzed the commercialization of cork stoppers in the initial phases of this industry, until the mid-nineteenth century. Secondly, we have studied the performance of these commercial networks through the case of the company Genís and Co., which was specialized in Central and Eastern Europe markets in the last decades of the nineteenth century and the beginnings of the twentieth century.

Resumen
Long-term studies about the Spanish book publishing industry based on time series are scarce. It has been long considered that Spanish statistical sources about this industry are unreliable, so they pose problems when trying to quantify the evolution of the sector. Subsequently,available statistical sources have frequently been used only as a complement to the text. This article examines five of those sources and uses them to build a narrative around them for the Spanish book publishing sector in the twentieth century. Based on the results, this article establishes five stages in the Spanish book publishing sector for the last century and links those trends to the main developments in every period

Resumen
The Spanish business code allowed firms two types of organizational flexibility in the late 19th and early 20th century. Firms enjoyed great leeway in adapting rules to their needs. The corporation was especially flexible in this way. Spanish law also allowed firms to in effect create their own legal form. Until 1920, firms faced the choices typical of civil-law countries, namely, the corporation, and the ordinary or limited partnership. But the Spanish business code was explicitly “open,” allowing firms to do something else if they wished. This second type of flexibility reached its zenith in the Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada (SRL), a form similar to Germany’s GmbH or Britain’s PLC. For its first decades the SRL was a creation of notaries and entrepreneurs, and was not written into Spanish law until 1953. This paper describes the law governing formation of Spanish companies, and documents the choices firms used.
