Recently, many exhibits and displays are mapping and showing various approaches or ways of understanding economy, how it has been discussed about (in a historiography way) and is showing signs of how capitalism is seen as the global overview of organization, giving clear way to neoliberalism, and all its implications. The funny thing is that the story of our economy is not new, nor are its errors, defects, or experiences that individuals have collected from the economies of their generations. This sample is a first examples of the creation of commerce and industry in Seville, and how these changes are an important principle to a regional economy.

Similarly, we think in disbelief  that human experience is crossed by economy, that it has ended mixed up in fragments of political speeches we never consider as true. Reality takes a hard and dense dimension when finally, we actually try to get into the labor market, after some alleged or without even an educational background. The experience of obtaining a job opportunity is completely different from region to region, but certainly is now more than ever a problem that is more than ever present. You  would also think about educational systems and how we are educated the same way, it is believed that art or the distinctions between art and politics do not exist or exist. But the curious thing is that no one realizes, economy will tackle all economic adjustments and impact equally on an artistic production and  and leave behind documents, traces of a past that unwittingly survives.

For this reason, the exhibition Five Centuries of Economic Report ofthe Seville Chamber of Commerce, presents in detail both for the general public and specialists, over 100 documents ranging from letters of nature, orders, billing insurance as well as shipwrecks and records data on industries and trade between the XII and XIV century. Thus, with true details, you can discover how in Seville at the time, soap, paper etc, among other products was produced.  In addition to all being related to trade in this area of ??Spain, a deep approach on the different roles and trades was also made possible, from signatures in documents such as street names, seals, firms, letters, fonts, etc.. This important effort will help us to better portray, the origins of local economies, having in this case Seville as the center part of the exhibit. However, the panorama that is displayed can be trespassed to any other city or province of the time, and get a better understanding of the account of the economic processes of that time.
