Abstract

This thesis analyses vertical integration in manufacturing, commercialising and financing in the Catalan cotton industry during the period 1840-1936. Testing traditional view with archival evidence, facts are confirmed but an alternative and more optimistic explanation is given. Manufacturers became involved in commercialisation because they coordinated supply and demand (instead of merchant-converters in the British case), so they needed to be in both sides. On the other hand, manufacturers were the best placed to be efficient bankers of their clients.
