摘要：The aim of this paper is to analyze the various measures related to the question of social assistance, taken from the perspective of political economy, in Spain during the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century. It studies the replacement of the old system of religious and private charity belonging to the ancient regime with the liberal State social assistance system based on public charity. Consequently, it studies the political and legal measures aimed at addressing the so-called “social question” and at replacing charity with social security. To this end, it recognizes the process of transition begun with the creation of the Commission of Social Reforms in 1883 and put into practice in 1900 with the approval of the first social security. Finally, it outlines the policies carried out in the first decades of the twentieth century, regarding protection, health care, social prevision and social security, and the process of creation of the first organizations charged with managing the labour laws and the social security: the Institute of Social Reforms and the National Institute of Prevision.
