Excerpt from The Cabinet Library of Scarce and Celebrated Tracts, Vol. 1: International Law The course, of which the present publication forms the Introductory Lecture, not onlyestablished the author's reputation, but opened up the way for him to fortune. Of the succeeding lectures it is said that only the notes or heads from which he delivered them remain. If, says his friend Mr Thomas had published nothing else than this Di Law of Nature and Nations, he would b. Feet monument of his intellectual strength and s; m metry; and even supposing that that essay had been re covered only imperfect and mutilated, if but a score of its consecutive sentences could have been shown, they would hear a testimony to his genius as dccidcd as the bust of Theseus bears to Grecian art amidst the Elgin marbles. His death, which happened on the 3oth May 1832, ex cited deep and universal regret. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In mid-twentieth-century Latin America there was a strong consensus between Left and Right&—Communists working under the directives of the Third International, nationalists within the military interested in fostering industrialization, and populists&—about the need to break away from the colonial legacies of the past and to escape from the constraints of the international capitalist system. Even though they disagreed about the desired end state, Argentines of all political stripes could agree on the need for economic independence and national sovereignty, which would be brought about through the efforts of a national bourgeoisie. James Brennan and Marcelo Rougier aim to provide a political history of this national bourgeoisie in this book. Deploying an eclectic methodology combining aspects of the &“new institutionalism,&” the &“new economic history,&” Marxist political economy, and deep research in numerous, rarely consulted archives into what they dub the &“new business history,&” the authors offer the first thorough, empirically based history of the national bourgeoisie&’s peak association, the Confederaci&ón General Econ&ómica (CGE), and of the Argentine bourgeoisie&’s relationship with the state. They also investigate the relationship of the bourgeoisie to Per&ón and the Peronist movement by studying the history of one industrial sector, the metalworking industry, and two regional economies&—one primarily industrial, C&órdoba, and another mostly agrarian, Chaco&—with some attention to a third, Tucum&án, a cane-cultivating and sugar-refining region sharing some features of both. While spanning three decades, the book concentrates most on the years of Peronist government, 1946&–55 and 1973&–76.
