What is the balance of the European Union’s Common Agricultural Policy more than half a century after its birth? Does it illustrate the virtues of the European model of coordinated capitalism, as opposed to US-style liberal capitalism? Or is it an incoherent set of instruments that exert diverse negative impacts and, like Frankenstein’s monster, seems to have escaped the control of its designers?The Political Economy of the Common Agricultural Policy does not criticize the CAP from the liberal standpoint that views most public interventions in the economy as bad for efficiency and welfare. The CAP has been costly to Europeans, both as consumers and as taxpayers, and has also generated a number of negative impacts upon third countries, but these costs and impacts have been more moderate than is suggested. This book proposes that the issue with the CAP is not a generic problem of coordinating capitalism but, instead, a more specific problem of low-quality coordination. The text argues that profound reform of the European Union’s institutions and policies is required to counter the rapid rise of a more Eurosceptical state of mind but – in the case of agricultural policy – history casts serious doubts on the capacity of the European network of agriculture-related politicians to lead such a reform.This key work is essential reading for researchers, graduate students, and master’s level docents of the Common Agricultural Policy and – more broadly – European Union policy and reform.

In barely three generations the Spanish diet has changed beyond recognition. The traditional concerns around nutritional health and scarcity have been mostly left behind, but they have given way to new problems linked to excess. In this book Fernando Collantes shows how the dairy industry has been central to this societal shift. From widespread calcium deficiency in the 1950s to the more recent, and controversial, turn to highly processed foods, it provides a recent history of diet change in Spain. Probing the reasons behind why this shift has occurred, and how, it shows that when it comes to food society, politics, economics and the law are intrinsically linked.Taking the reader beyond the world of food, Milk in Spain and the History of Diet Change combines qualitative and quantitative methods to position diet change within the broader debate on consumer society and ‘the good life’. Contrasting two models of food consumption, it shows that unless public policy takes the challenge of affluence seriously, the food system can become an obstacle to a better society.

Praise for Milk in Spain and the History of Diet Change:Unpacks the fascinating journey of Spain''s relationship with dairy products. Once a symbol of moving from poverty to prosperity, fresh milk''s appeal has dwindled as consumers favour plant-based drinks and gourmet yogurts and cheeses. Spain''s late adoption and early shift out of fresh milk highlight a broader trend: people often do not act in their own best interests. This stimulating book examines the reasons behind these choices, revealing the complex interplay between health, commercial innovation, culture, and consumer behaviour. A thought-provoking exploration of how food choices reflect deeper societal shifts. - Avner Offer, University of Oxford, UKA triumph of food history! This is an important book on changing food systems since 1950. While it focuses on Spain, it has wider implications for dietary shifts and the food industry in Western Europe. Milk is the product under consideration and Fernando Collantes cleverly teases out the main trends in supply and consumption using a combination of detailed empirical evidence and explanatory theoretical models. The result is a satisfying mix of nutritional, economic, and socio-cultural insights. While it may seem obvious – ''blanco y en botella, leche'' – I now realise that the story of milk is complex, and this book should be read by anyone interested in the trends behind modern food history. - Peter Atkins, Durham University, UKIn barely three generations the Spanish diet has changed beyond recognition.

Migration to the cities had been a part of European rural life long before the start of modern industrialisation and urbanisation. In the era of modern development, however, rural-urban migration intensified in an unprecedented way and many rural communities depopulated. While during the pre-industrial period migration had contributed to the economic and social reproduction of rural communities, it now challenged the continuity of the rural lifestyle. This book analyses the topic for the case of Spain, which in the twentieth century experienced one of the most intense processes of rural depopulation in modern Europe. The interaction between Spanish industrialisation and rural migration, the demographic implications of agrarian change, the obstacles to the development of rural non-farm activities, the rural problems of access to infrastructures and services, the role of public policy, and the consequences of depopulation for the rural community are the central elements of this study, which inserts the Spanish case within its European context. Distanced from both the anti-modern stance that idealises paradise lost and the Panglossian mood that welcomes anything that came with modernisation, the book explains how the adaptive strategies put into practice by rural populations led to a "peaceful surrender" of traditional rural society.

Is consumer society a vehicle for progress? Or is it a detour leading us away from the path to the good life? To what extent is consumer society a relevant object of analysis, after all? Today, these questions are central to the debate on the dynamics of capitalism and their impact on human well-being. Yet they are by no means exclusive to our time. This book traces the history of economic thought on consumer society from the late eighteenth century to the present day. It explores the ambivalence of classical political economists and Marx towards the world of consumption. It narrates the making of an intellectual battlefield between rival views of consumer society during the period 1870-1945 and the head-on clash that took place between those views during the decades after the Second World War. How these debates reemerged following the end of the Cold War and the Global Financial Crisis is also covered.This is the story of how economists debated consumer society and how that debate was shaped by another fundamental discussion: how economists should conduct their research and what kind of relationships they should maintain with other social sciences and the humanities. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in the history of economic thought and political economy.

Algunas de las cosas mas relevantes que suceden en la economia ocurren en el largo plazo. La economia tiene unas estructuras que nacen, se desarrollan y mueren, pero lo hacen a lo largo de periodos tan dilatados que muchas veces no nos damos cuenta de ello. Esta nueva edicion revisada y actualizada ofrece una vision concisa de las grandes transformaciones registradas por la economia espanola durante cuatro periodos estructurales de larga duracion: 1500-1800, 1800-1890, 1890-1975 y 1975-actualidad. Para cada uno de estos periodos se analizan la evolucion de las estructuras de oferta y demanda; los cambios en las bases tecnologicas, empresariales y politicas de la actividad economica; los resultados obtenidos en materia de crecimiento economico, el impacto ambiental y la desigualdad social, y finalmente, la calidad de vida y las pautas de consumo de la poblacion. El libro contiene numerosos ejercicios practicos y propuestas de ensayo que enfrentan a los estudiantes a una situacion similar a aquella en la que con frecuencia se encuentra un investigador: partimos de una pregunta o problema, buscamos evidencias cuantitativas y cualitativas que puedan ser utiles para dar con una respuesta y derivamos la respuesta de una interpretacion de dichas evidencias dentro de un marco conceptual. La obra esta dirigida fundamentalmente a estudiantes de la historia economica de Espana en asignaturas de los grados de Economia, Empresa e Historia. Tambien puede ser utilizado total o parcialmente como material para las practicas en asignaturas de historia economica mundial de dichos grados.
