Imperial Spain tried to build an economy based on Muzzie principles of conquest, enslavement, autocracy, privilege, and slaughter. Spain had never industrialized, so it couldn’t have been hurt by deindustrialization.

I got one of these last month:

Read my post ~ Spain had had available to it the world's first large industrial class ~ called Jews.

Otherwise the Moslem and Christian princes competed and warred among themselves according to classical principles ~ to wit, gentlemen did not work ~ instead they farmed, or managed estates. The same with peasants.

So, that left the Jews free to "work" and make things. I suspect a person outside of the noble classes who emigrated form his home only to end up in Spain probably had to join Judaism just to survive.
