Josep M. Salrach offers an overview of Catalan society at the end of the first millennium (9th-10th centuries), interpreted from the perspective of power and social organization. Starting from the Roman legacy, he explains the growth of cultivated lands with their protagonists, the peasants and warriors. He reviews social articulations and productive and mercantile activities. He examines the aspirations and struggles of the ruling aristocracy, as well as the emergence of the Catalan counties. He analyzes the administration of justice and taxation, a key piece of government structures and the political system. Finally, he talks about the territorial implementation of the Church and its connection with society and power, and the written culture as a transmitting and creative force, which gives solidity to the social configuration.
