Spanish Agriculture: The Long Siesta, 1765-1965, first published in
1996, is a major study in English of Spanish agrarian history.
James Simpson examines how traditional agriculture responded to
population growth and the integration of commodity markets,
emphasising both Spain's regional variations and its context in
Europe. Using statistical data as well as his wide knowledge of the
recent secondary literature, Simpson argues that decisive changes
in farming techniques only occurred at the start of this century.
He rejects arguments that slow growth can be explained by poor
resources or inefficient farmers. Indeed, farmers were quick to
change when they had market opportunities, but development was
interrupted by the Spanish Civil War and subsequent short-sighted
government policies, only resuming in the 1950s. This comprehensive
study will be of relevance to students and scholars of historical
geography and agrarian history, as well as economic history.
