Abstract
Abstract This paper’s main goal is to advance some considerations on the interrelations between port cities and capital. More specifically, it sheds light on how these interdependencies took place in the eighteenth-century Portuguese and Spanish Atlantic world. This paper thus seeks to draw an urban political economy in transimperial, global, and contractual perspectives. For so doing, particular attention will be put to Rio de Janeiro’s projection far beyond the South Atlantic, and in particular, its interconnections with the Rio de la Plata basin and Potosi markets. Attention will also be paid to the impact of and repercussions that far-flung economic phenomena had for the urban domestic markets.

Summary
Cities are made up of capital that is concentrated and materialized in a particular space. The Portuguse South Atlantic, and on the other, the Peruvian Colonial Space.[44] In a very similar way, Alencastro and Assadourian uncovered geographical economic colonial or imperial spaces which encompassed trans-national borders.[45] Both saw vast spaces (be they aqueous or terrestrial cross-border territories) integrated around a particular commodity According to the latter, the Potosi mining economy impacted different regional circuits so intensely that the mining pole became a node around which rural and urban areas from northern Peru to Buenos Aires revolved.[46] The silver minted in the city helped to integrate commercial circuits. This is evidence that there was a very well-developed market for silver in Rio de Janeiro but that the bullion was to be shipped for the payment of previously consigned goods
