Resumo: This article analyzes the remaining tax lists in Vila Rica, the capital of Minas Gerais, between 1715 and 1731. Taking as reference the paying taxpayer who made the largest contribution to the royal coffers in this period and ostensibly comparing their situation to those of other taxpayers in Vila Rica, the work identified socioeconomic groups and explicit social hierarchies in the different ranges of property and in the different productive activities that the fiscal lists indicate. The results allow us to re-discuss the importance of mining activity, the dimension of which has been put in check in current historiography. The article showed that exclusively miners came to boast extensive slavery and to develop large-scale economic enterprises.   Keywords: Mining, Vila Rica, Tax Lists, Slavery, 18th Century, Colonial Brazil

Tomando por referência o súdito pagante que maior contribuição deu aos cofres reais neste período e comparando ostensivamente a sua situação às dos demais contribuintes de Vila Rica, o trabalho identificou grupos socioeconômicos e hierarquias sociais explícitas nas faixas de propriedade ou fortuna e nas diferentes atividades produtivas que as listas fiscais discriminam. Os resultados apresentados permitem rediscutir a importância da atividade mineradora, cuja dimensão vinha sendo colocada em cheque na historiografia atual dedicada à região. Demonstrou-se que senhores exclusivamente mineradores chegaram a ostentar extensa escravaria e a desenvolver empreendimentos econômicos de grande porte.   Palavras-chave: mineração, Vila Rica, Listas dos Quintos e do Real Donativo, EscravidãoABPHE2021-08-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://hehe.org.br/index.php/rabphe/article/view/73410.29182/hehe.v24i3.734Economic History & Business History; Vol. 24 No. 3 (2021); 773-822História Econômica & História de Empresas; v. 24 n. 3 (2021); 773-8222525-81841519-331410.29182/hehe.v24i3reponame:Revista História Econômica & História de Empresas (Online)instname:Associação Brasileira de Pesquisadores em História Econômica (ABPHE)instacron:ABPHEporhttps://hehe.org.br/index.php/rabphe/article/view/734/503Copyright (c) 2021 História Econômica & História de Empresasinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGaspar, Tarcísio de Souza2021-11-11T18:15:37Zoai:ojs.hehe.org.br:article/734Revistahttps://hehe.org.br/index.php/rabpheONGhttps://hehe.org.br/index.php/rabphe/oaihehe.abphe@gmail.com2525-81841519-3314opendoar:2021-11-11T18:15:37Revista História Econômica & História de Empresas (Online) - Associação Brasileira de Pesquisadores em História Econômica (ABPHE)false
