Reviews

"This is an ambitious work that approaches from a new and original vantage point an unusually vast historical landscape. It is a first-rate contribution that brings significant enrichment to the field, and should exert an important influence on its future development." - Tulio Halperin-Donghi, University of California, Berkeley "This book by Jeremy Adelman takes us on a marvelous journey from late colonialism through decolonization." - American Historical Review "This ambitious work considers an often overlooked issue in the historiography of Latin America: how new and unstable states undertook to create and protect property rights... This is an excellent work that will be of immense value not only to scholars of Argentine history, but to anyone who is interested in the history of ideas or the impact of laws and political institutions on economic change." - Latin American Studies "The combination of Adelman's persuasive argumentation and analysis makes this work an exceptional contribution to our understanding of nation building." - Journal of Interdisciplinary History "Republic of Capital is an engaging, well-researched, and important contribution to our understanding of the political, intellectual, and legal changes that occurred in the Buenos Aires region from the late eighteenth century through the mid-nineteenth century, with a brief afterword on twentieth-century developments." - Canadian Journal of History
