Ítem La economía en la etapa de la dictadura (1939-1975)(Marcial Pons, 2023-05-02) Matés-Barco, Juan ManuelEsta aportación es una investigación original y se realiza un estudio detallado de la bibliografía más reciente sobre la dictadura del general Franco. Esta etapa ha concitado buen número de artículos, libros y publicaciones. El estudio ha pretendido revisar toda esta bibliografía y actualizar todas las cuestiones referentes a la economía durante los años de la dictadura. Este capítulo se ha dividido en varios apartados que describen, desde un punto de vista cronológico, las tres etapas esenciales de la dictadura franquista. Tras una breve introducción, en el segundo epígrafe se refieren los aspectos económicos más señalados de la etapa conocida como la autarquía. En el tercer apartado se examina la “década de transición” y se reseñan los cambios experimentados y la nueva estrategia política. En el cuarto se hace un pequeño paréntesis en esta correlación sucesiva, para detallar brevemente el Plan de Estabilización de 1959 y mostrar la repercusión que tuvo en los años siguientes. En este contexto, se estudia en el quinto epígrafe la denominada “edad de oro de la economía española”, para concluir en el sexto con un sintético balance de todo el período. Por último, se incluye un elenco bibliográfico.Ítem Entrepreneurship in Spain. A History(Routledge (Taylor & Francis Group), 2021-08-01) Matés-Barco, Juan Manuel; Caruana de las Cagigas, LeonardoThe figure of the entrepreneur has become a relevant factor that explains the process of growth and economic development. Rising unemployment rates have generated among institutional and private agents, a significant interest in promoting entrepreneurship as a formula to eradicate this social scourge of unemployment. Active policies that favor business culture and initiative are being promoted in all areas. In the university world, academic research has multiplied the work on entrepreneurship, a term that includes a triple meaning: the figure of the entrepreneur, the business function and the creation of companies. This versatile meaning must be based on a consistent theory about the company and the entrepreneur. This book presents specific cases of companies and entrepreneurs that have had their role throughout the history of Spain. The intention is to show the techniques and learning acquired by those agents, which have allowed a considerable advance in the knowledge of the structure and business development. This book brings together the research carried out by its authors with primary sources and makes it accessible to a wide audience—Spanish and Latin American—and will be of value to researchers, academics, and students with an interest in Spanish entrepreneurship, business, and management history.Ítem Small, Medium and Large Companies in the Supply of Water in Spain (1840-1940)(Routledge (Taylor & Francis Group), 2021) Matés-Barco, Juan ManuelThis chapter is a study on the public limited companies of drinking water supply in Spain between 1840 and 1960. The first objective is to consider the role played by the services sector in the economy and, especially, the companies dedicated to water supply. The development of these companies was determined by the nature of the activity -considered as a public service-, which was based on the figure of the natural monopoly and the formula of the administrative concession. For this reason, the business strategy that companies practiced to dominate the market and the risk function that this type of business entailed is analyzed. The trajectory of the companies is interpreted by examining their economic and financial structure. The profits and the level of profitability of the companies, show a flourishing sector that contributed to the modernization of the cities.Ítem The Age of Global Economic Crisis (1929-2022)(Routledge (Taylor & Francis Group), 2023-06-02) Matés-Barco, Juan Manuel; Vázquez-Fariñas, MaríaThe frequency and repetition of economic crises over the last hundred years demands an analysis that allows us to discover the root causes of these situations and the problems they have generated in the world economy. This book investigates these cycles throughout the 20th and the early 21st century. Economic crises can be the result of political or military conflict, but they have also been the consequence of bad practices, unbridled speculation, excessive greed, or poor management by the rulers and leaders of nations. The contributors to this volume analyse the causes and consequences of economic crises from the Great Depression to the present day, incorporating post-World War II reconstruction, the oil crisis of the 1970s and the “lost” Latin American decade of the 1980s, among others. This longer-term view allows the book to provide insights into understanding economic cycles in the long run, not just at a specific moment in time, and the ways in which they have spread internationally. This historical analysis also helps to shed new light on the current Covid-impacted situation, as it provides another reading of the main crises of recent centuries and their causes and consequences, as well as the measures and policies adopted to overcome the difficulties. This book will be of significant interest to readers in economic history, business history, politics, and economics and history more broadly.Ítem The Great Depression of 1929: crisis in the world economy(Routledge (Taylor & Francis Group), 2023) Matés-Barco, Juan ManuelBetween 1929 and 1932, the world experienced one of the worst depressions in history. The existing state of economic science was powerless to solve the problem and the decisions taken by governments were, on the whole, misguided. Policies tended to be protectionist in nature, designed to insulate national economies from external "contagion". Attempts at international cooperation failed at the London Conference of 1933. Each country avoided "external contamination" and sought to "export its unemployment" through protectionist policies. A case in point is the United States, which imposed very high tariffs. At this juncture, the depression spread very quickly, mainly because of the sheer scale of the US economy compared to the rest of the world. In 1929, 40% of world manufacturing production was located in the United States; its imports represented 12% of the world total while its exports accounted for 15.8% globally.
