摘要

This paper examines some incidents of a modern industrial system in the Mexican agrarian landscapes of the central highlands, some time before Antu ano inaugurated his modern factory ※La Constancia Mexicana§(1835), up until the beginning of the new industrial ※boom§ of the 1880*s. The paper contenas that the rural, handmade ※pre-industrial§ system coexisted without any problem with a ※proto-industrial§ extra-regional market system, and also with a very original manufacturing system throughout the XIXth century. There were many transitions to modern factory systems, with a common persistent financialcredit penury that forced many businessmen to lease lands, waters and mills to build or to adapt modern factories as marginal and typically lessee business, as compared with other mercantile activities during a period that runs from 1780 to the 1880*s. El objetivo de este art赤culo es mostrar algunos ejemplos de las peripecias para la instalaci車n de un moderno sistema fabril en paisajes agrarios mexicanos del altiplano central, desde que Antu ano inaugur車 su moderna f芍brica ※La Constancia Mexicana§, hasta la llegada del nuevo boom industrialista de 1880. Se pretende demostrar que la preindustria rural y artesanal coexisti車 sin problemas con sistemas ※protoindustriales§ y con la instalaci車n propiamente de un sistema fabril. No hubo desplazamientos ni etapas definitivas de transici車n pero s赤 una persistente penuria financiera-crediticia que oblig車 a muchos ※hombres de empresa§ a arrendar tierras, aguas y molinos para construir o adaptar f芍bricas modernas como negocio marginal y t赤picamente arrendatario de otras actividades mercantiles durante el periodo de estudio.
