I, Franco and What Stops Spain From Yet Again Breaking Out Into the Civil War?

For 13 years, Spain has been ravaged by a succession of famines known as the Years of Hunger. Franco's solution to Spain's woes is to bring free market capitalists into his government. Modernising reforms are introduced, which rapidly revived the struggling Spanish economy. Some historians believe Spain's rapid growth happens in spite of El Codeo, not because of him.
