Abstract
espanolEntre las decadas de 1840 y 1870, los Gobiernos liberales espanoles aprobaron un conjunto de iniciativas legislativas destinadas a construir y mejorar la infraestructura de transporte. Debido a la falta de recursos financieros, a menudo fue necesario recurrir al capital privado extranjero a traves de varios sistemas de concesiones administrativas y ayudas publicas. Desde el enfoque profesional de los ingenieros civiles y ferroviarios, algunas de esas soluciones entraban en conflicto con sus posiciones ideologicas o con la realidad de unos proyectos que exigian grandes inversiones y prometian parcos retornos. Este articulo examina los supuestos de partida de esos ingenieros para hacer frente a los problemas, las respuestas que dieron, su acogida por los poderes publicos y la evolucion de sus posiciones en las decadas centrales del siglo xix. EnglishBetween 1840’ and 1870’ decades, Spanish Liberal governments approved a set of legislative initiatives aimed at building and improving the transport infrastructure. Given the lack of financial assets, they often had to call to foreign private capital through several systems of state licenses and public aid. From the professional focus of civil and railway engineers, some of those solutions conflicted with their ideological positions, or with the reality of projects that demanded large investments and promised scant returns. This paper examines the underlying assumptions of these engineers to face the problems, the answers they gave, their acceptance by the public authorities, and the evolution of their viewpoints in the central decades of the 19th century.
