Political Economy of the Spanish Miracle
In the 1950s and 1960s, Spain underwent one of the most rapid processes of economic development the world had ever seen. Most existing analyses of this process explain the “Spanish Miracle” as a product of the unleashing of market forces and of changes in economic policy made by the Franco regime in the 1950s.

The Spanish Miracle is linked to changes in Spanish society produced by the Spanish C...
The Economic Repercussions of Terrorism
The Economic Repercussions of Terrorism offers a theoretical overview of the economics of terrorism and provides a detailed evaluation of the costs of terrorist attacks, focusing in particular on the Madrid bombings of 2004, but also including comparisons with 9/11 and the London bombings of 7/7. Divided into three parts, Part One offers a theoretical overview of the economics of terrorism including an analysis of the roots of terrorism, terrorist financing, the economic consequences of terrorism, and the predatory war economy. Part Two provides an in-depth analysis of the direct and indirect economic costs of terrorist attacks, looking at the security and defence responses, and offering industry sector analyses. Part Three explores the 'other costs' of terrorism, such as the impact of attacks on a government's popularity, and the possibility that terrorists use 'inside information' on attacks to play the stock market.

La hora de los economistas.
Se ha celebrado el quincuagésimo aniversario de uno de los hitos de historia económica de España, el Plan de Estabilización de 1959. Momento crucial en el que los economistas "tomaron las riendas" de la política nacional y encauzaron a España hacia la apertura económica, conscientes de que acabaría conllevando la apertura política. Desde esa fecha los economistas han desempeñado un papel fundamental en la modernización de la economíaespañola y en el bienestar de los españoles.
