Arango, political modernity, CubaThis work calls into question the traditional view of historiography featuring Francisco de Arango, undisputed leader of the Cuban elite between 1790 and 1820, as the main responsible for the economic boom of Cuba during this period. The author’s view is that the success of Arango’s economic liberalization proposals for Cuba should be valued instead as the culmination of a process that began decades before at the initiative of the most advanced government faction in the monarchy. The most original contribution of Arango resides in the introduction of a new way of making politics and in being the first Cuban politician in the modern sense.
