Growth and Crisis in the Spanish Economy: 1940-93 appraises the turbulent development of the Spanish economy over the last fifty years and places current economic problems in their historical context.

The book includes a detailed discussion of economic development under Franco, including the boom years of the 1960s followed by the decline of the early 1970s; an analysis of the decade of economic crisis which only ended in 1985; an evaluation of the economic successes achieved by the Gonzalez government during the second half of the 1980s; an examination of the causes and effects of the economic crisis in the early 1990s; and an analysis of why, despite serious attempts to revitalize the industrial sector, Spain still has one of the highest levels of unemployment in the OECD.
