Description
Summary:Since the publication of the first edition of this volume on Spain in 1996, which was itself one of the first of this series, Spain has undergone many changes, both political and social. Prime Minister Aznar led Spain into the European single currency, the Euro, in 2002, in the hope that it would offer stability to Spain’s traditionally weak currency, the peseta. Senor Rajoy’s term as Prime Minister has been characterized by further problems with the Spanish economy leading to further falls in living standards, as well as an alarming rise in unemployment, especially among young people.
