Although Iberians have been involved in international trade since the time of the Carthaginianss, those cosmopolitan practices did not promote a free market. Rather, deals were forged behind the scenes, and restrictive policies dictated
who could work with whom. The Jews developed their own patrimonial system, operating quite successfully through family connections that stretched across the Diaspora. Unlike the Christians, they were not as constrained with
political obligations or religious restraints. Their expulsion in 1492 denied Spain a valuable example of family connections that contributed to a healthy economy. Instead, Spain and Portugal closed their borders on any heretical ideas. During the Hapsburg era, trading policies were restricted on the basis of religion. Dutch and English traders, corrupted by Protestantism, were not al-
lowed to operate in Spanish waters. Family connections came to be understood as protective, closed systems. Paranoia and fear destroyed a network that might have been efficient and productive.

Look burger,
The Protestant world did not finish its first war against Spain when in the 1630's already went into the first speculative bubble, the tulip one. From that moment on, the movement, using the theories of a Catholic called Erasmus of Rotterdam and spread by a North European Nationalist known as Luther, based its growth in speculative econom, well in line to what was useful in the swamps it developed, up to the point of replacing in the late 19th century, the Spanish monetary system, based in the Latin American silver (and that enabled the Industrial Revolution), for the Anglosaxon gold standard, which, of course, collapsed in 1970.
The Protestant system is pure profit and the Rule of Law is only maintained if doesn't affect the bottom line.
Quevedo foresaw that in 1640
