Coatsworth, John H.
Published by Northern Illinois University Press, 1981
Hardcover in near fine condition, sealed in shrink wrap
Study based upon thorough research in government publications of the Porfirian period and in previously little used railroad company reports preserved in the Historical Archive of the Secretary of Communications and Transports. The first to employ econometric techniques and counterfactual propositions extensively in the study of Latin American railroads, John Coatsworth has succeeded in producing a work readily readable even for those who normally balk at deciphering econometrics. Coatsworth’s measurements of the railroads’ contribution to Mexican national income during the Porfiriato confirm the indispensability of the railroad. No alternative road system could have allowed equivalent economic growth.
