Resumen

Using various primary sources, the study presents the figure of José Antolín Rodulfo, a Peruvian businessman, politician, and intellectual, analyzing his enterprises and business practices, as well as describing his conservative ideas. The results show the importance that political connections and proximity to power had for the development of his businesses, as well as the relevance of the conservative political network in nineteenth-century Peru. In doing so, the study seeks to contribute to the study of the intellectuals and businessmen of that century who combined both spheres, highlighting the coherence of their actions as well as the particularities they displayed.
