    About this ebook

    The nub of the problem is stated in the second preface to this book: 'you cannot build a sound economic structure unless credit and contracts are sustained by courts that can be trusted…" Barron's belief is that Mexico's currency (in 1917 when he was writing) was the cartridge. It was a lawless place where no one could be trusted. Mexico was wealthy in resources, but so ill-governed and managed that use of these and proper development was impossible.

      San Francisco’s First Boom

      Jul 3, 2018

      We think of San Francisco as a boomtown these days because of its central position in the technology industry, but, of course, it has played that role before, when the Gold Rush began in 1848. Thomas O. Larkin had a unique view of that frenzy — he wa
