The Development of Modern Spain
This reinterpretation of the history of modern Spain from the Enlightenment to the threshold of the twenty-first century explains the surprising changes that took Spain from a backward and impoverished nation, with decades of stagnation, civil disorder, and military rule, to one of the ten most developed economies in the world. The culmination of twenty years' work by the dean of economic history in Spain, founder of the Revista de Historia Económica and recipient of the Premio Rey Juan Carlos, Spain's highest honor for an academic, the book is rigorously analytical and quantitative, but eminently accessible. It reveals views and approaches little explored until now, showing how the main stages of Spanish political history have been largely determined by economic developments and by a seldom mentioned factor: human capital formation. It is comparative throughout, and concludes by applying the lessons of Spanish history to the plight of today's developing nations.
Autonomía e modernidade en Galicia
Transcorreu xa tempo abondo para valorar as bondades e fraquezas da autonomía. Máis de vinte e cinco anos despois, é o momento de analizar os resultados. Este libro responde a esa demanda ao estudar os cambios e transformacións que se produciron en Galicia como consecuencia do goberno autonómico. Os anos da Autonomía coinciden cos de maior desenvolvemento da sociedade galego. Os traballos que se recollen neste libro parten desa constatación amais de teren en conta a incidencia doutros factores -contexto internacional e o papel da Unión Europea- á hora de estudar o acontecido durante un período no que Galicia goza de autogoberno para organizar e construír o seu presente. O cambio social, a análise económica, o territorio e a súa ordenación, o sistema sanitario galego, os medios de comunicación, o longo proceso de normalización lingüística e o devir da cultura son os eixes temáticos desta pormenorizada análise, que reflicte unha etapa de máis de vinte anos de período autonómico.
