Description
An Economic History of the Iberian Peninsula, 700–2000 provides a sweeping analysis of economic change and development across Spain and Portugal over thirteen centuries. This authoritative volume brings together leading economic historians to examine the region’s transition from medieval agricultural societies to modern industrial economies.
The work covers critical periods including the Islamic occupation and Christian Reconquista, the age of exploration and colonial expansion, the Industrial Revolution’s varied impact on the peninsula, and twentieth-century modernization. Contributors explore key themes such as trade networks, technological adoption, institutional development, and regional disparities that shaped Iberian economic trajectories.
By synthesizing decades of scholarship with fresh interpretive frameworks, this Cambridge University Press publication offers scholars, students, and general readers a definitive reference for understanding how economic forces transformed the Iberian Peninsula and its place in European and global history.
