Graduated in History at the University of Valencia and PhD at the University of Alicante where I am a professor of Economic History. My research has focused on the study of the transition from feudalism to capitalism from the case of Alcoi, a city that carried out an industrialization process, successfully completed. I am currently developing a research aims to study the proletarianization process (demographic change, family forms and transfer of ownership) underlying capitalist transformation. I also head two research groups, one interdisciplinary of critical thought (CRITERI, Critical Socioeconomics) and another about the process of formation of the working class in the Spanish mining centers, within a coordinated project on the History of Mining financed by the Ministry of Science.
