L’histoire de l’intendance hispano-américaine ne peut se faire sans l’histoire des hommes qui la gouvernent. Au-delà des données biographiques classiques, cet ouvrage se penche sur leur environnement familial, social et professionnel. Son originalité réside dans la composition du groupe étudié. Il recense l’ensemble des intendants de la vice-royauté de la Nouvelle-Espagne entre 1764 et 1821 quel que soit leur mode de nomination, qu’ils soient entrés ou non en charge. Il est le seul à étudier les intendants de cette aire géographique dans toute son intégralité territoriale (Nouvelle-Espagne, Guatemala, Louisiane, Cuba, Porto Rico, Philippines). Este repertorio permite estudiar la administración hispanoamericana desde la perspectiva de su personal, incluyendo sus redes familiares y de relaciones, sus estrategias matrimoniales y sus lazos de parentesco. Toma en cuenta todos los intendentes nombrados en el Virreinato de Nueva España, hayan o no tomado posesión de sus cargos, incluyendo los numerosos nombramientos interinos debidos a la lejanía geográfica, ausencias prolongadas, enfermedades, rebeliones o dificultades de comunicación.

Originally published in 2007, this book incorporates the rich literature on the history of the fiscal organization and financial dynamics of the Spanish empire within the broader historical debates on rival European imperial states from 1760 to 1810. The focus is on colonial Mexico because it served as a fiscal and financial submetropolis that ensured the capacity of the imperial state to defend itself in a time of successive international conflicts. Throughout the reign Charles IV, the finances of the Spanish state began to sink. This collapse was caused by the enormous expense of waging successive wars in the Americas and Europe. In each war, colonial Mexico was a most important source of resources for the Crown, but these demands gradually outstripped the tax base of the viceroyalty despite the extraordinary silver boom of the late eighteenth century. The bankruptcy of the Spanish monarchy and its empire was the inevitable consequence.
