ABSTRACT

The writing, translation, publication and spread of textbooks on political economy in Spain, as in other countries, represents a crucial aspect of the generation and socialisation of economic knowledge through different and interrelated processes in the diffusion of economic ideas: the institutionalisation of political economy in education, the spread across journals and books, and the economic, social and political debates in both the formal and informal spheres. This chapter integrates previous contributions to the subject, promoted by Professors Massimo Augello and Marco Guidi, with the results of a specific research on the textbooks, including texts translated into Spanish.
