Resumo

Mucho se ha escrito sobre la aportación de la Partida Doble al desarrollo económico de Occidente. El presente trabajo pretende presentar un análisis detallado del papel que desempeñó la contabilidad en la génesis del capitalismo. La contabilidad, como herramienta de gestión, fue un factor clave en la organización comercial.
Después de ofrecer una visión panorámica de la organización del comercio en la época medieval y de considerar varias acepciones del concepto de partida doble, el estudio concluye que ésta fue al mismo tiempo causa y efecto de la transición de los mercaderes itinerantes a sedentarios.
La expansión del comercio y del número de inversiones en las que un mercader podía estar inmerso a un mismo tiempo creó la necesidad de una integración y un ordenamiento que, en cierto modo, la Partida Doble exigía y propagaba. Un comercio más amplio demandaba un sistema gerencial mejor. Ese buen sistema gerencial –la partida doble-, fue un factor decisivo en el incremento comercial.

Thousands of pages have been written about the double-entry contribution to the economic development of the Western world. The present paper tries to present a detailed analysis on the role played by Accounting in the genesis of capitalism. Accounting, as a management tool, was a key factor in the commercial organization.
After having offered a general view about the organization of commerce in the Medieval era, some double-entry concepts are dealt with. The study concludes that double-entry was at the same time cause and effect of the transition from travelling merchants to resident ones.
The expansion of commerce and the number of investments a merchant could be involved in at a time created the need of an integration and an order that, to certain extent, double-entry implied and spread. A bigger commerce demanded a better management system. This managerial system –the double-entry-, was a conclusive factor in the commercial growth.
