It is at the same time scholarly and accessible. An excellent contribution!"--Charles P. Kindleberger "The author has compiled an extremely impressive and important set of time series on Latin American and U.S.-Latin American economics previously unavailable anywhere. Her comparison of British lending in the nineteenth century and U.S. lending in the 1920s and 1970s is also original and creative. This book will be welcomed by specialists in international finance, internation political economy, and twentieth-century U.S.-Latin American relations."--Richard Feinberg, Overseas Development Council
