ABSTRACT:
This article proposes an exercise in analytical reading centered in the trilogy The Perspective of the World: Civilization & Capitalism, of Fernand Braudel. Our attention is focused in the place occupied by cities in the three levels of analysis developed at work: a) in the structures of everyday life, where the city appear as a privileged space for an overall view of the lifestyles in the Old Regime Societies, in a comparative perspective b) in the market economy, in which the urban areas sometimes appears as a factor of connection, and sometimes as infrastructure for the development of the material life, c) and in the high level circuit of the financial transactions, when the city appears as a superstructure for the development of the capitalist system. The analysis is based in two axes, in "Braudelish" terms, in two factors of long duration: the routes and hierarchies.
KEY WORDS: Fernand Braudel, capitalism, towns.
