«Miradas, palabras, huellas: Memorias de un intelectual de acción» is the memoir by Josep Maria Vegara, published by RBA in paperback (288 pages, in Spanish).
In these memoirs, Josep Maria Vegara reviews his life and work from his formative years and clandestine anti-Franco activism in the FOC to his time at Barcelona City Council in two periods around the 1992 Olympic Games and his work at the Institute for Fiscal Studies in Madrid. Amid anecdotes and an ironic tone, he maintains that his activity as a politician and teacher was linked to his theoretical concerns, with Marxism as the reference social theory and the search for other complementary theories.
Josep Maria Vegara (Barcelona, 1940) was a leader of the Front Obrer de Catalunya and took part in the founding of the PSC, and worked as an economics professor at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.
It will appeal to readers of political memoirs and recent history of Catalonia and Spain, as well as those who want to understand the link between academic economics and the institutional politics of the era.
