]]> An analysis of the wealth and income of the twenty-four members of the Jerez de la Frontera town council in the 18th century shows the divergence between the great patrimonial wealth of this social group and the real income they received, which was much lower than what would be expected for the main power group in the city. This imbalance can be explained by the indirect and intensive exploitation of their rural properties, which were subject to continuous leasing and from which they obtained large economic returns.
If we analyse the properties of this power group (1.1% of the taxpayers in the municipality) according to their economic profile, we discover that their economic base is based on their control of the land, with no less than 24.15% of all the land in Jerez in their possession, highlighting and underlining their social relevance.
