Reviews

'This work is definitively a qualitative leap in Spanish banking literature, since it provides a theoretical bench-mark that affords a revision of some of the little-known topics regarding the banking regulations of Franco's regime, particularly their reasons and their effects. Not only because of its theoretical proposal, but also due to its use of indicators that demonstrate that the regulation was neither uniform, nor had any similar effects on the banking industry, this book is a valuable reference for understanding the economic policy of the regime as well as the evolution of the Spanish banking industry.'
