Editada en la Fundación Empresa Pública ; Este artículo analiza la gestión privada del monopolio de tabacos español por parte de la Compañía Arrendataria de Tabacos (CAT) introduciendo el género como categoría de análisis. Se trata de determinar qué diferencia supuso el uso de mano de obra femenina en la modernización llevada a cabo por la CAT que en 1887 era el mayor empleador industrial del país, y que mecanizó los talleres de producción y redujo durante su gestión la mano de obra en casi un 70 por 100 sin traumatismos aparentes. Se demuestra cómo características atribuidas a la mano de obra femenina como el menor coste, la baja o tardía militancia sindical y sobre todo la flexibilidad en el tiempo de trabajo, fueron elementos esenciales para explicar el sistema tecno-laboral impuesto por la CAT y la rentabilidad económica y sobre todo política de su gestión. ; This article analyses the private management of the Spanish Tobacco Monopoly by the Compañía Arrendataria de Tabacos (CAT) from a Gender perspective. What difference did female labour make in the modernisation process carried out by the CAT? This company, which in 1887 was the biggest single industrial employer of the country, slowly mechanised the workshops and reduced the workforce by a 70% during the period of its management (1887-1945). This article shows how a number of factors attributed to women's work, such as smaller labour costs, low degree of unionisation and high flexibility were essential in explaining the techno-labour system implemented by the CAT, and the economic and political profitability of its management. ; Publicado

AbstractFeminist economics is a school of economic thought and political action that gained important visibility during the 1990s, although its origins can be dated back to the mid‐19th century. Since then, feminist economics has developed its own concepts, analytical frameworks, and methodologies. With gender as a central category, it seeks a more integral and humane comprehension of the economy and of the processes of inclusion and exclusion taking place in it. In addition, feminist economics has grown into a political practice that aims at improving the functioning of the economic system so that all people can have access to a dignified life on the basis of equality. This article presents a general systematization of these theoretical and political dimensions, particularly focusing on the critique of the neoclassical paradigm and its political correlates. We connect the epistemological, methodological, and conceptual contributions of feminist economics, as well as its propositions for transformative action, to specific debates on economic issues, such as the ecological emergency, crisis and austerity, the commodification of life, and the liberalization of trade.

During the Spanish Civil War, in the Republican side, a social revolution broke out, led by the workers and their unions ending in many places in a business collectivization process. In the city of Alcoi, the anarchist union took control over more than 100 textile family firms, going through a rationalization process which unified the production of all textile firms overcoming a previous production crisis and attending the war demand. Does the Alcoi case during the Civil War prove the possibility of a successful anarchist business organization? This article tries to understand the development of business without a capitalist organization and the role of business networks in such a development. The organizational design and the administration of the collectivization process is an example of how socialization of the property and democratization of the decision-making process in the company were not opposed with rationality and efficiency, at least during a war context. ; Durante la Guerra Civil Española, en el lado republicano, estalló una revolución social, liderada por los trabajadores y sus sindicatos que terminó en muchos lugares en un proceso de colectivización empresarial. En la ciudad de Alcoi, el sindicato anarquista tomó el control de más de 100 empresas textiles familiares, pasando por un proceso de racionalización que unificó la producción de todas las empresas textiles para superar una crisis de producción anterior y atender la demanda de guerra. ¿El caso de Alcoi durante la Guerra Civil demuestra la posibilidad de una organización empresarial anarquista exitosa? Este artículo trata de comprender el desarrollo de los negocios sin una organización capitalista y el papel de las redes empresariales en tal desarrollo. El diseño organizativo y la administración del proceso de colectivización es un ejemplo de cómo la socialización de la propiedad y la democratización del proceso de toma de decisiones en la empresa no se opusieron con racionalidad y eficiencia, al menos durante un contexto de guerra.

The 20th century has witnessed an increase in the female participation force in Western countries, especially since 1940s. Explanations behind the more intensive use of female labour are of different nature: globalization forces, the relative female/male wage linked to an increase in education and productivity, the tertiarization of the economy, and other institutional and cultural factors that allow women to control fertility, invest in assets other than the family ones and alter female bargaining power. Since these phenomena are complex and might respond to specific reasons and timing in different countries, it is important to advance on country case studies in a comparative basis. While in other Western countries the increase in female labor participation started to be significant in the 1960s and 1970s, Spanish female activity rates started to rise dramatically in the 1980s, concurrently with the deep integration of Spain in international markets, especially through the entry in the European Union in 1986. In this paper, we will analyze the reasons behind the decalage in female labor force participation in Spain after WWII in comparison with other Western countries, and the subsequent catching up from the 1980s in order to determine the level of influence of Spanish integration in international markets, as well as other economic, institutional and cultural factors. ; REPEC_wphaei ; Preprint
