Abstract

This essay analyses two central texts in the transformation the Francoist regime undergoes in the 1960s: Falangist Waldo de Mier’s España cambia de piel, and Catholic doctrinaire Gonzalo Fernández de la Mora’s El crepúsculo de las ideologies. Both texts show the torsion of both Falangist and Catholic ideals in favor of an adaptation to a new Spain based on consumerism and geared towards a full implementation of the welfare state through governmental biopolitics.
