La gran transformación de la sociedad española

Abstract

Spain has become a modern economy that is fully incorporated into global economic reality
and integrated into an ambitious project such as the euro. The huge transformation we have
experienced in the last fifty years is, on the one hand, the result of the consolidation of our
opening up to the outside world and, in particular, our active participation in the process of the
building of Europe and, on the other hand, macroeconomic stability and 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 and the generation of wealth arises out of integration into world markets and,
in particular, into the common European project, with a view to taking advantage of the benefits
of globalization over productivity, specialization, optimum growth and the creation of
employment.
