Abstract: The arrival of Saint-Simon’s ideas in Spain was conditioned by the despotism prevailing in the first three decades of the 19th century and the country’s lack of a strong industrialist tradition. As a result, the spread of Saint-Simonian ideas took place indirectly via Spanish exiles in France. Some returning exiles sought to spread the Saint- Simonian creed between 1834 and 1838, in some cases following the line of Enfantin and in others from a more eclectic stance. Meanwhile, the relative economic backwardness of Spain, characterized by a strong prohibitionist bent among the more industrialized sectors, prevented a more enthusiastic response to Saint-Simonian ideas.
