Moneda y Nación. Del federalismo al centralismo económico en Colombia

A mediados del siglo XIX se puso en marcha en Colombia uno de los procesos de inversión extranjera más exitosos de América Latina, al menos desde la perspectiva de los inversionistas extranjeros: la construcción y puesta en funcionamiento del Panama Railroad Co.

Perhaps the opening paragraph from Paul Larson¿s (Baylor University) prologue to the Epistola ad Mahomatem II summarizes what this new Scripta Humanistica volume has to offer to readers of literature and history alike: ¿This new scholarly edition certainly begs the question: how can a fifteenth century letter from the then Pope Pius II to the Muslim conqueror of Constantinople have any relevance for contemporary scholars and students in the early 21st century?
