| description | This work suggests the existence of very interesting exceptions to the widespread idea that New Spain indians were farmers who produced basically for their own needs and for paying tribute, thus limiting their contacts with the market. The author examines the case of Atlapulco, a town that very soon became the main provider of charcoal as fuel for the official mint, the Real Casa de Moneda in Mexico City. The research reveals Atlapulco’s constant battle against the arrival of indian and Spanish competitors seeking a share in the deal, suggesting that the main reason for this attitude was the preservation of a lucrative monopoly, considered a special privilege granted by the king. The author also describes the disputes between Atlapulco and the mint administrators over fixing con tractually the price of charcoal. Finally, he examines the discourse used by Indians in the defense of their interests, pointing out how they appealed to the idea that commercial arrangements must necessarilly take into account tradition, historical rights and mutual obligations sustaining social order. |

Este artículo propone que hay excepciones del mayor interés al lugar común de que los indios novohispanos eran agricultores que producían básicamente para sus propias necesidades y pago de tributos, limitando sus contactos con el mercado. Examina el caso de Atlapulco, un pueblo que desde muy temprano se convirtió en el principal proveedor de carbón vegetal para la Real Casa de Moneda de la ciudad de México. El trabajo reconstruye la constante batalla de Atlapulco contra la aparición de competidores indios y españoles que aspiraban a tener su parte en el trato. Considera que el motivo de fondo de esta actitud fue la preservación de un monopólio lucrativo, visto como privilegio especial que les había sido concedido por el rey. Asimismo, comenta las fricciones ocurridas entre el pueblo y los administradores de la Casa de Moneda sobre la determinación contractual del precio del combustible. Finalmente, examina las formas discursivas empleadas por los indios en la defensa de sus intereses, al señalar que se adscriben a una concepción que consideraba que los acuerdos mercantiles debían necesariamente tener en cuenta la tradición, los derechos históricos y las obligaciones recíprocas que daban sustento al orden social.
