The paper analyses the disruption and distortion of the economic activity of the Majorcan minority of Jewish converts in the second half of the 17th century. The causes do not lie in the risk of the practices of the economic actors, but rather in external factors of an institutional nature, specifically repression from the Inquisition. The intervention of the Inquisition provokes bankruptcy, and a paralysation of their commercial dealings and especially of credit.
