Abstract
El objetivo que pretende alcanzar esta investigación y la metodología que se va a utilizar conducen a un propósito: realizar un análisis de la Caja de Ahorros y Monte de Piedad del Círculo Católico de Obreros de Burgos –a lo largo de sesenta años– que ponga de relieve su impacto real sobre la sociedad en la que se instala y ayude a explicar su contribución en el devenir de la historia burgalesa de la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Aspira a presentar a la Institución como un síntoma, como la respuesta imprescindible de unas clases dirigentes necesitadas de instrumentos con los que construir un edificio económico–político y social acorde con el nuevo tiempo. La Caja de Ahorros nació, se instaló y se consolidó sustentada en tres anclajes: el marco legislativo e ideológico que fomentaba la creación de estas entidades benéfico-sociales, el soporte organizativo y doctrinal que le proporcionó el Círculo Católico y la institución eclesiástica, y el espacio socioeconómico y de poder del Burgos que transita entre la Restauración y el comienzo de la Dictadura. Se pretende establecer un diseño teórico que explique el verdadero alcance de la Institución: definir su contribución como agente del cambio o de la permanencia; la dimensión que adquiere como centro de poder; el peso y proyección política de sus dirigentes; la medida de su influencia ideológica, que cristaliza en el dibujo urbano o conformando mentalidades; y objetivar en cifras la verdadera eficacia de su compromiso económico y como agente de vertebración social. También evaluar las repercusiones que sus actuaciones tuvieron en la capital y el resto de la provincia, en todos los órdenes: conformación de las mentalidades, política local, ordenamiento urbano, tejido asociativo, educativo, institucional y, desde luego, en la construcción de un determinado modelo económico. De ahí el interés en tender relaciones y conexiones entre el Burgos decimonónico, el de la crisis finisecular y el de la posguerra. Y, en fin, entender cómo desde instituciones como el Círculo Católico y con instrumentos como su Caja de Ahorros se reconducen las mentalidades: para que las actitudes encajen en los moldes preparados al efecto, respecto a la familia, la propiedad, el orden, el trabajo, el dinero y el tiempo...
The aim this investigation expects to fulfill, in hand with the proposed methodology, lead to one purpose, developing an analysis over seventy years of the Círculo Católico de Obreros de Burgos’ Caja de Ahorros and Monte de Piedad. An analysis that lastly underlines its real impact in the society where it is rooted and helps explaining its contribution in the development of Burgos’ history through the second half of the XX century. With that spirit, this thesis aims at introducing the Institution as a symptom. As the essential answer of a ruling class in need of instruments to erect an economic, political and social building in accordance with the new times. The caja de ahorros was born, installed and consolidated supported in three moorings: first, thanks to regulatory and ideological framework that fostered the creation of these charitysocial entities; second, due to the organizational and doctrinal support provided by the círculo católico and the church institution; and third, due to the socioeconomic and power space in between the Restoration and the Dictatorship. This doctoral thesis purports to establish a theoretical design that explains the actual range of the Institution: defining its contribution as an agent of change or continuity; the dimension that reaches as power hub; the weight and political projection of its directors; the measure of its ideological influence that crystallises from Burgos’ urban planning to the shaping of mentalities; and to objectify by putting in figures the true effectiveness of its economic and social structuring commitment. Moreover, to assess the role, the range and weight of the Institution’s presence: to evaluate the consequences of its actions over the capital and the rest of the province in all aspects. In the shaping of the mentalities, in local politics, in urban planning, network of social society, education, institutional, and obviously the development of a certain economic model. Such is the interest in relating and connecting the Burgos of the nineteenth-century, the Burgos of the turn-of-the-century crisis and that of the post-war period. The core of this work arises from the set objectives and the methodology used in achieving them. And, in all, to understand how from institutions such as the Círculo Católico, by means of its Caja de Ahorros, mentalities get back into line and fit in the prepared moulds for family, property, order, work, money and time issues...
