- Abstract
During the nineteenth century, Barcelona gradually became one of the major economic centers of Spain as a result of its complex process of industrialization and the development of strong colonial networks. Accompanying this transformation was the rise of an economic elite, closely tied to new financial institutions, who became one of the economic pillars of the city. This article analyses the long-term evolution of this elite from 1853 to 1919 by focusing on their links with the banking sector of the city.
