Spain is widely known as a country that missed an opportunity to be part of the Western Europe in its progress in becoming country of industrialization with noticeably higher standards of living and liberal and parliamentary government.

In some of the economical terms, as of 1960 Spanish income per capita was half of the Italy and the four part of England . By 1980 it was nearly more as Italy and three fours of England , while around 1990 living standards reached similar to those in England.
