But, anyway, it's evident that this stress on social relationships to achieve goals in Spain (and hispanic ones, in general) is firmly rooted. May time and development help to improve social mobility, equality and meritocracy, stagnated by contact networks.

A phone connection "shared line in 3 months" became "your own line next week" with the right non-telephonic connection! I'm sure it exists in any country. We'd all help a friend or family member if we could, even if the jamón turns out to be a favour for us when needed. I found a similar problem in Italy in the 70′s.
