The Plundering of the Vanquished

Beschreibung

This book analyzes the various modalities of economic repression during the Franco regime and highlights its importance as a deterrent to inhibit any expression of dissent. Its effectiveness is explained because it did not act in isolation, but in combination with the different coercive and social control mechanisms used by the dictatorship.

Economic repression became a keystone of the social exclusion policies of the Franco dictatorship from the stage of the coup dʼétat. Beyond its utility in provisioning the warfronts and for the proper functioning of the rearguard, it became a valuable deterrent and a weapon of intimidation that smothered any expression of non-conformity. If its efficiency was so remarkable, this was due to the fact that it did not act in an isolated fashion, but projected itself on the social body that had already suffered the combined effects of the Civil War, the physical repression and the rest of the coercive and social control mechanisms employed by the regime.
