The Spanish actors in Eighteenth Century discussed about two related questions. First, the extent to which there existed in Spain a specific knowledge, or even a specific science, of finance administration. Second, they asked whether this knowledge was a justification for exercising power over the administration of finance. The paper explores the polemics that these two questions raised, under the reigns of Philip V and Ferdinand VI. Our aim is to reconstruct and understand the conceptions of good financial administration according to its key actors. Our conclusions show that the political confrontations in this period should not be read as the result of a traditional conflict opposing Bourbon’s reformism (supposedly homogeneous) and pro-Habsburg tradition. In fact, the construction of a new model of financial administration was a conflicting and far from straightforward issue.Downloads
