O objetivo deste artigo é contribuir para o debate sobre os níveis de monetarização da economia brasileira ao longo do século XVIII. Buscamos mensurar o impacto das cunhagens de ouro de moeda nacional e sua retenção na colônia como um primeiro passo para avaliar se as trocas internas foram ou não restringidas pelas disponibilidades monetárias. Conclui-se que os níveis absolutos afiguram-se elevados, o que indicaria que a atividade econômica não terá sido afetada pela “escassez” de moeda.
This article aims to contribute to the debate on the level of monetarization of the Brazilian economy in the eighteenth century. We measure the impact of both the coinage of national gold coins and its retention in the colony as a first step to evaluate whether or not internal exchanges were restricted by monetary availability. The conclusion is that the absolute levels of monetarization were high, which indicates that economic activity was not adversely affected by monetary “scarcity”.
