UZTÁRIZ, Gerónimo was born in 1670 in Spain.
Possibly the best-known Spanish mercantilist whose Teórica. was translated and widely admired. lieutenant is an assemblage of facts and criticism rather than theoretical analysis — even his recognition that economic conditions govern population levels, rather than vice versa, was hardly new. His advocacy of industrialisation and arma-
ment for Spain is interesting, since this is presumably the policy he had recommended to Cardinal Alberoni when he was one of the latter’s advisers.
Member, Spanish Council of Trade and Council of the Indies.
