This book by the leader of Convergència Democràtica de Catalunya is both a reflection and a proposal. On the one hand, the author invites a rethinking of the historical course, scope and future of Catalanism at the start of a new century. And, on the other, conscious of the need to find a way out that will allow us to overcome the current phase of the autonomic project, he proposes the paths that, in the near future, must allow Catalonia to exercise the right to decide on its future. The work is also an invitation to seek out, through what he calls La Casa Gran del Catalanisme (The Meeting House of Catalanism), the maximum national consensus to make possible the advance of the country ? both from a national point of view and that of the welfare state ? towards a better future. This book is, therefore, one of the most solid conceptual contributions and proposals made in recent years by a Catalan leader holding a high political office.
