Petite Bourgeoisie
''Petite bourgeoisie'' (, literally 'small bourgeoisie'; also anglicised as petty bourgeoisie) is a French term that refers to a social class composed of semi-autonomous peasants and small-scale merchants whose politico-economic ideological stance in times of socioeconomic stability is determined by reflecting that of a ''haute bourgeoisie'' ('high' bourgeoisie) with which the ''petite bourgeoisie'' seeks to identify itself and whose bourgeois morality it strives to imitate. The term is politico-economic and references historical materialism. It originally denoted a sub-stratum of the middle classes in the 18th and early-19th centuries.

History Of The Cotton Industry In Catalonia
The cotton industry was the first and leading industry of Catalan industrialisation which led, by the mid 19th century, to Catalonia becoming the main industrial region of Spain. It is the one Mediterranean exception to the tendency of early industrialisation to be concentrated in northern Europe. In common with many European countries and the United States, the Catalan cotton industry was the first to apply the factory system and modern technology at scale. The industry began in the early 18th century, when printed cloth chintz ( ca, indianes) was produced, stimulated by a Government initiative to substitute imports and the opening up of the American colonies to Catalan merchants. Spinning was a late addition to the industry and took off after English spinning technology was introduced at the turn of the 19th century. Industrialisation of the industry occurred in the 1830s after adoption of the factory system, and the removal of restrictions by Britain on the emigration of exp ...

Barcelona Trading Company
The ''Royal Barcelona Trading Company to the Indies'' ( es, Real Compañía de Comercio de Barcelona a Indias; ca, Companyia de Comerç de Barcelona) also known as the ''Barcelona Company'' was a trading company in the 18th century chartered by the Spanish crown, operating from 1755 to 1785, and which had a monopoly on trade to the Caribbean islands of Puerto Rico, Santo Domingo and Margarita. The company provided a legal framework and a focus for capital which enabled Catalan merchants to break free from the restrictions of the Cadiz monopoly on trade with the Indies, provided skills and contacts that enabled the development of free trade between Catalonia and the Americas to flourish after the company's demise, and contributed to the development of the textile industry which later became the basis of industrialisation in Catalonia. Historical context Since 1503, under the Habsburg kings, all trade with America had been conducted through the port of Seville (and after 1717, ...
