Spain: A Modern European Economy

By David Corkill and Joseph Harrison

Written in a straight forward and engaging manner, Spain: A Modern European Economy engages with research from a wide variety of disciplines, and will be of interest to anyone with a specific interest in modern Spain, or a wider interest in economic development within the frame work of the European Union. Perhaps more than any other European country Spain has undergone a remarkable transformation in the post-war period. To the surprise of many, it has succeeded in making the leap from a predominantly agricultural and politically repressed country to a modern European democracy with a diversified economy containing important manufacturing and service sectors. Yet despite the fact that at the beginning of the twenty-first century Spain is the world's eighth largest economy, old stereotypes that see the Iberian nation as an inflexible, unchanging society persist.
