Abstract

This work contains a political and economic analysis of the Real Decreto Legislativo 2/2008, de 20 de junio, por el que se aprueba el texto refundido de la Ley de suelo – the Consolidated Text of the Spanish Land Use Act of 2008 – and of its consequences. The study focusses on the increased power of the arbitrary, the fostering of corruption, and the increased pressure on land values to rise caused by the adoption of this bill into law and on the doubtful constitutional validity of the legal text.
