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.

No obstante, creó parte de las condiciones para que eventualmente surgiera un reto serio a la soberanía nacional sobre el Istmo.

Ottavio Di Camilo already informed us in 2001 that the letter in La Celestina contained rare words. An analysis of this text and of the foreword to La Celestina gave us not only the name of Juan del Encina, but also that of Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo as the author.

Se trata de "estabilizar" el pasado, de...

High in the Inyo Mountains, between Owens Valley and Death Valley National Park, lies the ghost town of Cerro Gordo. Discovered in 1865, this silver town boomed to a population of 3,000 people in the hands of savvy entrepreneurs during the 1870s. As the silver played out and the town faded, a few hung on to the dream. By the early 1900s, Louis D.
