Reviews

"Haber's book will long endure as the standard work on the subject." - Mexican Studies/Estudios Mexicanos "This is an outstanding book that should be required reading for anyone wishing to gain a deeper understanding of the economic problems now facing the Mexican government." - Journal of Third World Studies "An important new look at the history of Mexican industry. His careful discussion of the nature of the industrial system emerging in the latter part of the nineteenth century and his insights into the revolutionary and postrevolutionary periods provide an excellent basis for a better understanding of the rapid expansion of Mexican industry after 1940." - American Historical Review
