Chapter 8 in Politics, Policy and the European Recession, 1982, pp 195-217 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract During the international depression of the 1930s, commentators south of the Pyrenees continued to assert that Spain, because of her relative economic backwardness together with the effects of a sustained drive towards autarky over the previous quarter of a century, remained virtually isolated from the worst consequences of the greatest crisis which the capitalist system had ever experienced.1 In a recent survey article two leading Spanish economic historians contend that The most serious problems facing the [Spanish] republic were not to come from coincidental external circumstances [but from] longer standing, basic internal problems such as agriculture… It is from here that originate most of the strains and stresses that were to explode in a bloody civil war’.2
