Royal Factories
To break the dependence on foreign manufactures that drains American silver from the kingdom, the Bourbon kings are founding Reales Fábricas, state-owned manufactories producing luxury goods according to mercantilist principles. The Real Fábrica de Tapices of Madrid, the Real Fábrica de Cristales at La Granja, and the woolen manufactories of Guadalajara employ thousands under royal protection, with foreign masters imported to teach Flemish, Bohemian, and English techniques. This industrial program reverses the eighteenth-century trade deficit and seeds the manufacturing base from which a later industrial revolution can emerge.
