De "holandeses del sur" a "Hong Kong" del Mediterráneouna historia económica de Menorca

Résumé

The aim of this book is to offer a historical and economic analysis of the island of Menorca from primitive times to the present day, a work that has not existed until now. The method used is that of two historian economists, academically recognised, who apply the techniques of political economics, statistics and conventional history, so that the results present novel interpretations, including a genuine and unprecedented study of the development of patents and new companies established in Menorca, and the Balearic Islands in general, with respect to the rest of Spain, between 1852 and 1966, which confirms the main thesis of the book. The work also highlights the importance of human capital and technological innovations in economic growth and social development.
