Tales of premature death The contemporary structure of plunder - pt. 2: Development is a voyage with more shipwrecks than navigators.

Lust for gold, lust for silver King sugar and other agricultural monarchs The invisible sources of power - pt. 1: Mankind's poverty as a consequence of the wealth of the land. Weaving fact and imagery into a rich tapestry, Galeano fuses scientific analysis with the passions of a plundered and suffering people.-From Includes bibliographical references (pages 309-330) and index These are the veins which he traces through the body of the continent, up to the Rio Grande and throughout the Caribbean, and all the way to their open ends where they empty into the coffers of wealth in the United States and Europe. Thus he is concerned with gold and silver, cacao and cotton, rubber and coffee, fruit, hides and wool, petroleum, iron, nickel, manganese, copper, aluminum ore, nitrates, and tin. Galeano has organized the various facets of Latin American history according to the patterns of five centuries of exploitation. It is also an outstanding political economy, a social and cultural narrative of the highest quality, and perhaps the finest description of primitive capital accumulation since Marx. This classic set a new standard for historical scholarship of Latin America.
