Inhaltsangabe

This is a comprehensive and detailed account of the economic history of Puerto Rico from the period of Spanish colonial domination to the present. Interweaving findings of the "new" Puerto Rican historiography with those of earlier historical studies, and using the most recent theoretical concepts to interpret them, James Dietz examines the complex manner in which productive and class relations within Puerto Rico have interacted with changes in its place in the world economy. Besides including aggregate data on Puerto Rico's economy, the author offers valuable information on workers' living conditions and women workers, plus new interpretations of development since Operation Bootstrap. His evaluation of the island's export-oriented economy has implications for many other developing countries.

"Probably the first general economic history of Puerto Rico
dealing with that country from the Conquest to the present, this is
an interesting and convincing overview. Its breadth of coverage
will be of genuine value to specialists in Puerto Rican studies."--Sidney W. Mintz, Johns Hopkins University
