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. Jordi Catalan Vidal is Professor of Economic History at the University of Barcelona, Spain. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Economic History,$x2662-6500 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aFinance 606 $aHistory 606 $aMacroeconomics 606 $aEconomics 606 $aEconomic History 606 $aFinancial History 606 $aMacroeconomics and Monetary Economics 606 $aEconomy-wide Country Studies 606 $aEconomics 606 $aCrisis econòmiques$2thub 606 $aHistòria econòmica$2thub 606 $aIdentitat col·lectiva$2thub 607 $aCatalunya$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aFinance. 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aMacroeconomics. 615 0$aEconomics. 615 14$aEconomic History. 615 24$aFinancial History. 615 24$aMacroeconomics and Monetary Economics. 615 24$aEconomy-wide Country Studies. 615 24$aEconomics. 615 7$aCrisis econòmiques 615 7$aHistòria econòmica 615 7$aIdentitat col·lectiva 676 $a330.9467 676 $a330.9467 700 $aCatalan Vidal$b Jordi$01424448 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910741142603321 996 $aCrises and Transformation in the Mediterranean World$93553623 997 $aUNINA
