Features: This is a classic work on Latin America. The book consists of two parts. The first part, titled "The Earth's Wealth Creates Human Poverty," narrates the history of plundering in Latin America by old colonialism around gold, silver, crops, and other mineral resources. The second part, titled "Development is a Voyage with More Victims Than Sailors," describes how new colonialism has stifled the development of national industries in Latin America in its infancy through free trade, loans, railways, conspiracies, and violence. It analyzes how modern means such as investment, technology, economic aid, joint ventures, financial institutions, and international organizations have uncivilizedly participated in the ancient war of plunder.
