El siglo de las Luces I Libro II

El siglo XVIII, el Siglo de las Luces: «el gran siglo» según Michelet. Sí, indudablemente, si la grandeza de un siglo se mide por el brillo del pensamiento libre y por la preocupación por el destino terrestre de los hombres. Todavía encerrado en las supervivencias de la época feudal, heredero de estructuras aparentemente inmóviles, el siglo, último del Antiguo Régimen, se despega poco a poco del antiguo orden y se abre a un mundo ampliado tanto por el pensamiento crítico y el progreso científico como por la expansión mercantil y por una economía conquistadora.

El desarrollo de los sistemas hacendísticos constituye uno de los rasgos de la historia europea a lo largo del siglo XVII. En el caso castellano la fiscalidad figura entre las causas que se suelen alegar para explicar la decadencia del reino.
