Measuring Up - A History of Living Standards in Mexico, 18501950

Zusatztext "This book constitutes pioneering scholarship in Mexican history. It is potentially one of the more important works published in the field in the last generation because of its anthropometric approach to the usually ideologized issue of Mexico's secular economic development. This is a book based on facts and measurable inferences! not deductions from a premise. It will be valuable to a wide group of scholars-wider than Latin American history alone."
