Description: "Chile's copper mining sector suffered because it lacked capital and infrastructure and had to process poorer quality ores. It also suffered from competition and wild price variations. The industry continued to function although London, and British merchants dominated the copper trade as well as other sectors of the economy. A well-researched study"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
