Lo pequeño es posible : Cómo el tamaño define el futuro de una nación

For decades, it has been taken for granted that large states are more efficient, safer, and more prosperous. Professor Miguel Anxo Bastos challenges this consensus and proposes a provocative thesis: many contemporary political, economic, and social dysfunctions stem precisely from the excessive size of political units. Through a rigorous analysis that combines history, economics, and political science, the author demonstrates how political fragmentation has historically fostered freedom, innovation, and well-being, while large states and empires tend toward bureaucratization, inefficiency, and conflict. Against the myth of integration as a universal solution, Bastos invites us to rethink the scale of power from the perspective of individuals and communities.
