This edited collection presents an economic history of Catalonia
and its economic crises, from Roman times to the political
difficulties of the present day. It considers how the strong
identity of the Catalan people has been reinforced in critical
episodes such as the commercial revolution of the Late Medieval
Age, the 1640 rebellion, the Succession War of 1705-1714, the
industrial revolution of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries,
and the strong repression during early Francoism. The book also
explores how historical parallels from Catalonia’s past might
shed light on the long-term consequences of the Great Recession of
2007-9 and recovery in the EU, showing how the typical
Mediterranean approach of adjusting to crises by depreciating
currencies and expanding public deficits has been less
straightforward during the most recent financial crisis. A
particularly deep slump has contributed to fostering the claim for
independence of Catalonia in recent times, echoing larger
dissatisfaction with EU monetary policy. With a comprehensive
overview of major events in Catalonian economic history and their
broader implications to European political economy and development,
this book will be of interest to students and academics in economic
history, social history, and monetary economics.
