| description | This article contains a comparative analysis of the economic administration of two Discalced Carmelite convents on both sides of the Atlantic, one in Seville and the other in Mexico City. Aside from their foundational chronicles, it also makes use of the accounting books of both institutions. The conclusions are clear: they both developed a great capacity to adapt to their environment in order to guarantee their survival. In the case of Seville, the convent’s chronic debts and the loss of the profitability of its investments were only overcome thanks to an annual rent established by the Duchess of Osuna, making it into a subsidized convent. The Mexican convent had a more positive economic balance, having managed to avoid falling into debt in its initial phase and understanding how to take advantage of the need of Mexican society to increase its social capital through the commercialization of sacred spaces. |

Aside from their foundational chronicles, it also makes use of the accounting books of both institutions. The conclusions are clear: they both developed a great capacity to adapt to their environment in order to guarantee their survival. In the case of Seville, the convent’s chronic debts and the loss of the profitability of its investments were only overcome thanks to an annual rent established by the Duchess of Osuna, making it into a subsidized convent.

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo el análisis comparado de la gestión económica de dos conventos de carmelitas descalzas fundados a ambos lados del Atlántico, en Sevilla y ciudad de México respectivamente. Para ello se han utilizado, además de las crónicas fundacionales, los libros de ingresos y gastos de ambas instituciones. Las conclusiones son claras: ambos desarrollaron una gran capacidad de adaptación al medio para garantizar su supervivencia. En el caso de Sevilla, el endeudamiento crónico y la pérdida de rentabilidad de sus inversiones solo fue superado con la renta anual establecida por la duquesa de Osuna convirtiéndose en un convento de renta. Por el contrario, las mexicanas obtuvieron un balance económico más positivo gracias a que consiguieron eludir el endeudamiento en su fase inicial y supieron rentabilizar la necesidad de la sociedad mexicana de acrecentar su capital social a través de la mercantilización del espacio sagrado.
