The large merchants who dominated long-distance trade in the Spanish empire for the better part of three centuries have been traditionally depicted by historians as a privileged group that used its political and financial clout to protect its interests while engaging in uncompetitive economic practices, largely to the detriment of Spain and its colonies. This image suggested specifically that the colonial commercial system was irrationally organized, choked Spain 's economic progress, and generated unwarranted monopoly rents [profits]. all for the benefit of the privileged traders of the merchant guilds.

None of these conclusions are wholly incorrect, but they largely fail to appreciate the unpredictable environment in which these traders engaged. Without having adequately reflected on the role of risk in oceanic commerce, historians have tended to paint an overly one-dimensional portrait of the large merchants and their commercial practices. Long-distance traders responded to conditions of poor information, tremendous uncertainty. And endemic risk by adopting defensive strategics and embracing risk-reducing institutions. Avoiding risk, however, neither meant that the Spanish merchants lacked entrepreneurial spirit nor that they were somehow the precapitalist rentiers that historians sometimes imply. To the contrary, no merchant could operate in the highly risky Atlantic world trade without constantly anticipating and taking active measure to avoid catastrophe. Being successful in early modern, long-distance trade required that merchants act defensively to prevent economic misfortune. Fortunes came gradually to patient and shrewd traders, but financial ruin could happen overnight.

The author and the historians mentioned in the first sentence would probably agree on which of the following issues?

A. Whether Spanish traders used their influence to protect their interests B. Whether Spanish traders engaged in some uncompetitive practices C. Whether Spain's economic progress was inhibited by certain behaviors on the part of Spanish traders

不定项选择题。结合文章第一句话中“used its political and financial clout to protect its interests while engaging in uncompetitive economic practices他们利用其政治和金融影响力保护其利益，同时从事缺乏竞争力的经济活动”，选择A&B。 C错误，是否受到西班牙贸易商某些行为的抑制，与题目无关。
