La cuarta revolución, la digital, nace por impulso de un nuevo marco tecnológico que se pone al servicio de las relaciones sociales en su sentido más amplio, innovando los esquemas de desarrollo de los negocios. El reciente lanzamiento de la criptomoneda Libra por parte de la big-high-tech Facebook, es la expresión más precisa del nuevo paradigma empresarial. Es la empresa plataforma, que del ámbito de fomento de las relaciones sociales irrumpe en el entorno financiero -fintech-, con los usuarios de la red social como potenciales clientes de la criptomoneda. La digitalización explica estas nuevas formas de hacer negocios y, por este motivo, trasciende al campo jurídico en el ámbito de instituciones clásicas del Derecho Mercantil. La obra respeta un esquema doctrinal tradicional para ordenar el ámbito de estudio. La pretensión es hilar estas señaladas tecnologías disruptivas con referencias ya conocidas, al objeto de analizar el alcance de la evolución o la naturaleza disruptiva como nuevo paradigma. Este actual contexto tecnológico no debe poner en riesgo el acervo axiológico vinculado a la Economía Social de Mercado como representación constitucional del modelo de sociedad. Las herramientas digitales en su proyección sobre el tráfico económico deben estar al servicio de la dignidad y libertad del ser humano en un contexto de desarrollo sostenible como valor universal, siendo esta tarea una función esencial del jurista y de la Ciencia Jurídica. Esta obra se pone a servicio de estos valores, contribuyendo al acervo de los trabajos que proponen analizar los avances digitales y adaptarlos a las mencionadas exigencias de política jurídica.

The contents of the Handbook abide by a classical academic approach to Commercial Law. It begins with a conceptual delimitation of the commercial legal framework and then analyses the legislation that controls or delimits the concept and the activity of businesspersons in economic transactions. The Handbook of Spanish Business Law is specifically appropriate for the bilingual Degree in Law. Nevertheless, it may also be used in other areas where Commercial Law has an important role, such the economic, business administration and management or tourism, to name a few. The publication of this Handbook will facilitate the work of our students in their study of comparative Spanish and international legal systems. It it will also be useful to all kind of researchers and practitioners in their first approach to the Spanish Commercial legal system.
