The book aims to highlight the mistakes made in the management of the country's salt sector by the Central Government, which wasted the geographical advantages of the production centre of Manaure (La Guajira) for international trade and also lost the possibility of creating trade links with the countries of North America and the Caribbean basin. He also stresses that there is still time to correct the wrong path and get back on the right track for the good of the coastal region, and why not say it, for the whole Colombian nation.
