Trade ReviewThe slim volume contains four papers from a symposium on theories of money and banking in post-independence Latin America, and two essays on the historical roots of natural capital in the writings of Carl Linnaeus, and the language and rationality of economic behavior. The four symposium papers revisit the monetary policy implemented by the Regenerative Government in Columbia, Francisco Barrera Lavalle's vision of Mexico's monetary reform of 1905, and Raul Prebisch's ideas on the creation of the Argentine central bank. -- Annotation ©2019 * (protoview.com) *
