Description: "Six essays approach the history of Mexican railroads from the perspective of the 'new economic history.' See especially Soto's essays on the relationship between industry and railroads in Monterrey, and Grunstein Dickter on the difference in approach between the científicos and the Carrancistas; however, all essays are important and well done.
