The higher the price of coartación, the more money they would have to turn over to their owners, although the portion of wages that either party might hold back was inconsistent. Generally speaking, agreements were made after private negotiations, and adjustments badly regulated. Coartados’ personal earnings were reduced by the percentage they were obliged to pay to their masters during their coartación period; in other words, they had to pay a kind of “interest” on their masters’ investment. This chapter explains the legal dispersal of coartación and how the jurisprudence of the time worked.","PeriodicalId":425971,"journal":{"name":"Wage-Earning Slaves","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130836500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
