Description: "Investigates evolving relationship between Venezuelan commercial interests and Guzmán Blanco's government, 1870-1888. Argues that merchants and the centralizing Guzmán regime had complementary interests that facilitated cooperation. Merchants supplied capital for state-building and infrastructural improvements, while regime provided a modicum of political stability. Relies primarily on official documents"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
