Resumo: | The 1808 declaration of free ports (portos livres) was a watershed moment in the history of the Portuguese Empire’s economic policy. Allowing foreign merchants to trade freely in Brazilian ports radically altered trade policies used for centuries. This article aims to reassess the conception and enactment of Portuguese trade policies in the context of the international turmoil that led to the collapse of the Iberian empires in the Atlantic world. The paper looks into the idea of free ports, a long-standing institution that supposedly emerged in the 16th century and would achieve worldwide implementation in the coming centuries. The article focuses on the attempts made in Lisbon to create a free port in the 1780s. A failed idea at that time, it came back once again in the 1820s when scholars praised the free ports as the solution for reorganizing imperial trade. Brazilian ports and Lisbon could mimic Tire and Carthage to transform the former imperial capital into a global commercial hub. |

Permitir aos comerciantes estrangeiros o comércio nos portos brasileiros alterou radicalmente as políticas utilizadas durante séculos. Este artigo visa reavaliar a concepção e a promulgação das políticas comerciais portuguesas no contexto da turbulência internacional que levou ao desmoronamento dos impérios ibéricos no mundo atlântico. O documento estuda a ideia de portos francos, uma instituição de longa duração que supostamente surgiu no século XVI e que atingiu uma implementação mundial nos séculos vindouros. O artigo tem como focos as tentativas feitas em Lisboa para criar um porto franco na década de 1780. Uma ideia fracassada que voltou a ser tendência mais uma vez na década de 1820 quando os estudiosos lançaram a proposta de porto franco como a solução para a reorganização do comércio imperial. Os portos brasileiros e Lisboa poderiam imitar Tiro e Cartago e a antiga capital imperial se tornar, assim, uma feira global.ABPHE2022-05-17info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://hehe.org.br/index.php/rabphe/article/view/87710.29182/hehe.v25i1.877Economic History & Business History; Vol. 25 No. 1 (2022); 35-61História Econômica & História de Empresas; v. 25 n. 1 (2022); 35-612525-81841519-331410.29182/hehe.v25i1reponame: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/877/508Bohorquez, Jesusinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-05-17T22:44:45Zoai:ojs.hehe.org.br:article/877Revistahttps://hehe.org.br/index.php/rabpheONGhttps://hehe.org.br/index.php/rabphe/oaihehe.abphe@gmail.com2525-81841519-3314opendoar:2022-05-17T22:44:45Revista História Econômica & História de Empresas (Online) - Associação Brasileira de Pesquisadores em História Econômica (ABPHE)false |
