Abstract

Spanish rule over the Peruvian viceroyalty experienced a decline during the second half of the seventeenth century that it attempted to rectify. In this context, viceroy Duque de la Palata was commissioned to develop an action plan to shore up the colonial control system. This article seeks to show this action, focused on the reestablishment of the economic backbone of the colonial economy. Additionally, the article aims to show how powerful groups opposed the reforms implemented by this viceroy. This confrontation resulted in the failure of those reforms because the development of the regional economic axes had irreversibly damaged the official circuit.
