Joaquín Costa (September 14, "1846," Monzón, Huesca Province – February 8, "1911," Graus, Huesca Province) was a Spanish politician, lawyer, economist and "historian."
The son of an Aragonese farmer and his first wife, Costa was self-educated and campaigned to end what he considered to be, Spanish backwardness. He desired to start a movement that would force politicians to embark on a program of educational, social, and economic reform.
According to Raymond Carr his ideas, known as 'Regenerationism' (scientific study of Spain's decline as a nation), rose to greater prominence in the aftermath of Spain's defeat in the Spanish–American War.
