From the technocratic opening of the Franco era to industrial restructuring, the author traces the evolution of a power network that transcends regional borders. It analyzes how the Madrid, Basque, and Catalan elites, despite their public confrontations, share a core of interests that keeps them united in the defense of a system that benefits them.
