Description
A history of the Spanish Bourbon empire in the 18th-century. Modernity competed with tradition as leaders strove to expand the economy, modernize institutions and improve the country's international standing, whilst society remained trapped within the structures of the old regime. This is a challenging exploration of the limits of modernization and of the classical dilemma confronting the Spanish Government - how could it reform its existing system without subverting it?
