Abstract

This historiographical study evaluates the importance of an economic focus in scholarship on educational corporations in Mexico, from the late colonial period, through the War of Reform. Scholarship on the history of education has grown considerably in the last few years; however, the topic of finances has not yet received the attention that it merits. In fact, historical overviews of education within a particular territory or region generally do not include discussions of finance. The majority of scholarship on this topic does not utilize quantitative data and instead relies on other forms of official source material. The quantitative approach followed in this article highlights economic actors before and after Independence, the role of indian villages, and elites.
