Economy of Spain (1939–1959)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The economy of Spain between 1939 and 1959, usually called the Autarchy (Spanish: Autarquía), the First Francoism (Spanish: Primer Franquismo) or simply the post-war (Spanish: Posguerra) was a period of the economic history of Spain marked by international isolation and the attempted implementation of national syndicalist economic policies by the Falangist faction of the Francoist regime.

The Spanish autarchy is commonly divided in three phases:[1]
- From 1939 to 1945, in which the regime was closely linked with the fascist ideology and powers.
- From 1945 to 1950, in which the regime was subjected to almost complete international isolation.
- From 1951 to 1959, after joining the anti-communist bloc of the Cold War and in which National Catholic influence was prevalent.
