"The book's main virtue is its notable capacity to cover much ground in a limited space. Harrison has outdone himself in this new book, in which he manages to condense half a century of Spanish economic history into a mere sixty-eight pages....Harrison's clear and systematic approach to the subject is a key ingredient in the success of this effort....Joseph Harrison's new work, is a useful quick introduction to the subject, and the enormous amount of information covered in its few pages and excellent bibliography will, no doubt, make it a key reference work." Jose Alvarez Junco, The Historian
