Resumen
LEAL, Cristián y PIZARRO, Elías. Pobreza franciscana: entre utopía y realidad. La Provincia de la Santísima Trinidad hacia fines de la colonia en Chile. Mem. am. [online]. 2016, n.24-1, pp.55-73. ISSN 1851-3751.
The Franciscan Order economic reality, in the Bourbon administration context, is analyzed in order to observe the concept of poverty expressed in the regulations of early seventeenth century. First we present a historiographical balance regarding the interest aroused by the material existence of the Order. Then we focus in the main sources of funding for the eighteenth century, the problems generated by the friar’s secularization and the new economic management adopted by the Order in the early nineteenth century. The Bourbon policy of open predilection towards the secular clergy did not particularly affect the economic development of the Franciscan Order since they added modern form of financing -such as investments- to the traditional ones. As a consequence, they were able to overcome their economic problems and could avoid material poverty.
