| Résumé: | This essay pursues two basic goals. On the one hand, it seeks to reconstruct the performance of private economy and public finances based on a comparative study with a number of temporal divisions (1800-1810, 1839, 1869, 1877, 1895 and 1910), as a manifestation of the different conditions experienced by both economic spheres during a period that goes from the crisis of the old Novohispanic colonial regime to the Mexican Revolution of 1910. On the other hand, and as a methodological guidance, this paper will examine the relations between the performance of the Mexican economy and its fiscal income sources. This comparison seeks to explain the fiscal bases on which the new nation-state was to be built, with views to evincing the cruxes of the territorial, sectorial and social struggle for the definition and control of the new country’s financial sources.
