After a survey of the natural resources in the different areas of the Portuguese territory, the effects of the overseas expansion on these sectors were studied. An excessive demand was noted, given the scale of the available resources, together with the general incapacity to rapidly replace them. The serious involvement of all social classes in the realm's principal political projects was demonstrated, as well as the existence of leaderships and the financial and technical resources necessary for ensuring Portuguese primacy in European expansion. Urgency justified the overexploitation of resources and the heavy tax burden, but it also compromised the country's future, with its small metropolitan space proving incapable of sustaining a lengthy revitalization effort, hence the title of this paper.

This book offers a fascinating exploration of the evolution of the Portuguese economy over the course of eight centuries, from the foundation of the kingdom in 1143, when political boundaries began to take shape in the midst of the Christian Reconquista of the Iberian Peninsula, and the formation of an empire, to the integration of the nation into the European Communities and the Economic and Monetary Union. Through six chapters, the authors provide a vibrant history of Portugal's past with a focus ranging from the medieval economy and the age of globalization, to war and recovery, the Atlantic economy, the rise of liberalism and patterns of convergence. The book provides a unique long-term perspective of change in a southern European country and its empire, which responds to the fundamental broader questions about when, how and why economies expand, stagnate or contract.

Maritime Networks as a factor in European Integration. Florence, Firenze University Press
A Port of two Seas. Lisbon and European Maritime Networks in the 15th century (by Joana Sequeira and Flávio Miranda)2019 •
With the development of research in economic history, historians are now testing the hypothesis that maritime networks and port cities contributed to the phenomenon of European integration. This essay applies a holistic approach to discuss how the city of Lisbon, located outside the privileged setting of multi-cultural interactions that was the Mediterranean Sea, became appealing to merchants from far and wide in late-medieval Europe. To do so, it examines a whole array of commercial, normative, fiscal, royal and judicial sources from European archives to discuss if it is possible to observe this phenomenon of European integration in fifteenth-century Lisbon. It first presents and analyses examples of meaningful pull factors, and then it debates elements of integration and opposition in Portugal’s main port city. Although Lisbon grew to become a cosmopolitan city of merchants, the rise of trade also turned into a factor of intense competition, which sometimes pushed traders in the opposite direction of a purported European integration. ‘Un porto di due mari. Lisbona e le reti marittime europee del XV secolo Con lo sviluppo della ricerca relativa alla storia economica, gli storici stanno attualmente verificando l'ipotesi di come le reti marittime e le città portuali abbiano contribuito al fenomeno dell'integrazione europea. Questo saggio applica un approccio olistico per discutere di come nell’Europa tardo medievale la città di Lisbona, posta fuori da quello scenario di interazioni multiculturali rappresentato dal Mar Mediterraneo, divenne interessante anche per i mercanti più distanti. Per fare ciò vengono esaminate una serie di fonti fiscali, commerciali, normative, reali e giudiziarie provenienti da alcuni archivi europei per discutere se sia possibile considerare questo fenomeno di integrazione europea nella Lisbona del XV secolo. In primo luogo si presentano e analizzano esempi significativi di fattori di aattrazione, quindi si discute relativamente agli elementi di integrazione e resistenza nella principale città portuale del Portogallo. Sebbene Lisbona stesse diventando una città cosmopolita di mercanti, l'ascesa del commercio si trasformò anche in un fattore di confronto e rivalità, che a volte spingeva i commercianti nella direzione opposta a quella di una presunta integrazione europea.
