    La política de Lipsio y las empresas políticas de saavedra Fajardo
    (2015-09-23) López Poza, Sagrario
    This article examines the influence of Belgian erudite Justus Lipsius on Saavedra Fajardo's Empresas políticas. The influence is mostly noticeable in the laconic style, in Tacitus' quotes, in the neo-stoic ideas and in Saavedra's transformation of some of Lipsius metaphors into images of his Maxims. Lipsius' name is nonetheless mentioned only once, due to the fact that he was an «unauthorized» author.

    Arbitrismo y mercantilismo en la españa de Saavedra Fajardo
    (2015-09-23) Ujaldón Benítez, Enrique
    In this article I will try to analyze if it is possible to reinterpret the work of part of the arbitrists as a defence of the cities, because the expenses of imperial policy were destroying their wealth and political independence. Furthermore, I will argue that the «empresas políticas» devoted to economic issues must be interpreted from a mercantilist point of view.

    Maquiavelo en Saavedra Fajardo (Las sombras de la virtud)
    (2015-09-23) Hermosa Andújar, Antonio
    Unintentionally, Saavedra develops his political doctrine, even from the election of the political subject itself, as opposed to the guidelines stated by Machiavelli. The immanent presence of ethics and religion as active parts of the above mentioned doctrine indicates so. However, in describing the behaviour the Spanish monarch should pursue in a political sphere, Saavedra discovers and ends up owning that spheres considered complementary at first, have become antagonistic. And by accepting how politics sometimes survive only by infringing the dictates of ethics, he ends up becoming as well another member of Machiavelli's large critical wake turned loyal disciples at the end.
