Daniel Lacalle analiza los diez puntos esenciales para acometer las reformas que necesita España a la hora de continuar creciendo y creando empleo, centrado en cuatro grandes grupos básicos: -Sostenibilidad del Estado de Bienestar. -Educación para el emprendimiento. -Fiscalidad para el crecimiento. -Productividad, investigación y sector exterior en un mundo globalizado.
