Description
Summary:Spain has become a modern economy that is fully incorporated into global economic reality & integrated into an ambitious project such as the euro. The huge transformation we have experienced in the last 50 years is, on the one hand, the result of the consolidation of our opening up to the outside world &, in particular, our active participation in the process of the building of Europe &, on the other hand, macroeconomic stability & the protagonism of the market, as a mechanism for allocation of resources, as against traditional public interventionist factors, which dominated a large part of our recent economic history. In short, the road to prosperity, growth, & the generation of wealth arises out of integration into world markets &, in particular, into the common European project, with a view to taking advantage of the benefits of globalization over productivity, specialization, optimum growth, & the creation of employment. 34 References.
