Abstract

This thesis has the objective to understand how Sao Paulo economic growth of the 1760s, triggered from the measurements of the Morgado de Mateus, was reflected in the economy, population, households and the distribution of wealth in Santos, the main port of capitania of São Paulo. We also seek to relate the large slaveholders santistas to monitor economic activities and their interrelationships. It was on that moment that were monopoly measures for the port of Santos, the improvement of the road to Serra do Mar, with the construction of the Calçada de Lorena, and expansion of port commerce, supply and export, instigated by the expansion of sugar production in Oeste Paulista. To measure the characteristics of Santos, firstly the port profile is delineated and, then, compared with the rest of capitania/província to identify the specific characteristics. (AU)
