The Spanish Economy: From the Civil War to the European Community

By Joseph Harrison

Book Overview

This book presents a concise survey of the Spanish economy from the end of the Civil War of 1936-39 to the present. In it the author analyzes the transformation of Spain from a backward agrarian economy--committed by Franco and the country's military rulers to the impossible quest of self-sufficiency--to a modern, rapidly growing, outwardly oriented economy. Spain is now fully integrated into the international economy and, since January 1986, has been an active member of the European Community.
