found this tip on the eidos website:
The best way to make money is to build schools that increase research, then go to the research screen and "exchange" research for gold.
my only question is does it work?? anyone tried it..?
making money with science..?

you have to "balance" your economic vrs you research. research points "appear" to help you climb the research ladder. trade gives you the money to build.
some of the quests can really give you a boost. 1 gives you a new tech upgrade for 3 turn in a row!! that's a 2 year boost at least by the time you get it!!!!!
would be cool if someone explained exactly how the research points work. i think it does affect how far you can "jump" up the tree, but i couldn't swear it.
as GB, you can concentrate on trade, science and navy (in that order), while peacefully annexing iberia, and have more money than godd. in fact, you'll find youself maxed out on $$. which, makes you turn to the diplomacy screen and get "creative". like find out whose doing the best militarily or is the most threatening to you, and offer them gobs of cash for their resources. they'll say no until you figure out just how much they'll part with now and then.
the little statistics button opens up a boatload of comparison and you can choose who will most likely take you offers. by offering way more than is necessary, they might still turn you down, but they don't get all mad at you.
