Abstract
The publication of this book in English is good news. Gabriel Tortella presents a synthesis of Spain's economic history during the last two centuries, written with scientific rigor and didactic guidance. He expertly combines economic theory and general historical analysis to formulate his hypotheses and to develop his arguments. The present volume contains some modifications of the original Spanish edition, and Valerie J. Herr's translation is excellent. Its 16 chapters include numerous tables, figures, and maps, and are followed by an updated bibliography and a chronology.
