Resumen Este artículo es un ejercicio explicativo e interpretativo que pone en diálogo y confronta la historiografía en historia económica escrita sobre Salta, una región del Norte de la República Argentina, con las grandes elaboraciones de la historia latinoamericana y global. Se priorizó en el análisis detenerse en las contribuciones que se ocuparon de los tiempos de fines del mundo virreinal y las primeras décadas independientes. Los actuales avances de las investigaciones parecen haber dado fin a las elaboraciones explicativas atrapadas en la órbita de la producción como clave explicativa de la generación de la riqueza y de la dominación de las clases. Los aportes de la perspectiva global dejan ver que el capital financiero incidió en la formación de las grandes fortunas de fines de la época virreinal y de los tiempos independientes. JEL: B0; B2; B5; N0. Abstract This article aims to carry out a balance of the studies on Salta's economy in the 19th century since its formation as a Province of the newest United Provinces of South America. Our objective is to integrate the different productions of historians, to build a long-term approach that articulates interpretative proposals, local, national, and / or global processes. This article is an exploratory and interpretive exercise that puts into dialogue and confronts historiography in economic history written about Salta, a region in the North of the Argentine Republic, with the great elaborations of Latin American history and Global history. The analysis gave priority to the events during the end of the viceroyalty period and on the first decades after independence was declared. Current advances in research seem to have put an end to explanatory elaborations stuck on the idea of production as a key factor to explain the generation of wealth and class domination. The contributions of a global perspective show that financial capital influenced the formation of the great fortunes of the viceroyalty's end period and that after independence was declared. JEL: B0; B2; B5; N0.
