It is said that China, boosted by an accelerated economic development, is practically unstoppable. The great emerging power, they say. Maybe. But it could also happen—remember what happened to Germany throughout the first decades of the 20th century—that a great power is weakened by its increasing power.

I should remind the reader that in it, entitled 'Who lives in Catalonia'?, an objective statistical fact was shown with hardly any comment about it: Spain's National Institute of Statistics establishes that the most common surnames of the people living in Catalonia are also the most common among those living in any other Spanish...
