Dentro de la generación de criollos que abrazó los principios de la Ilustración, ocupa un lugar relevante el jurista Francisco Xavier Gamboa, es autor de una de las obras capitales de la historia de la minería mexicana. Fue jurisconsulto y hombre de ciencia, sagaz abogado litigante y hábil político. Creyente en los derechos de la razón crítica, nunca dudó de sus creencias religiosas. En él se conjugaron modernidad crítica y tradición fideísta. Su vida y sus obras nos ponen en contacto con los momentos estelares de nuestro polifacético Siglo de las Luces.

From the depression of the 1890s through World War I, construction tradesman held an important place in San Francisco's economic, political, and social life. Michael Kazin's award-winning study delves into how the city's Building Trades Council (BTC) created, accumulated, used, and lost their power. He traces the rise of the BTC into a force that helped govern San Francisco, controlled its potential progress, and articulated an ideology that made sense of the changes sweeping the West and the country. Believing themselves the equals of officeholders and corporate managers, these working and retired craftsmen pursued and protected their own power while challenging conservatives and urban elites for the right to govern. What emerges is a long-overdue look at building trades as a force in labor history within the dramatic story of how the city's 25,000 building workers exercised power on the job site and within the halls of government, until the forces of reaction all but destroyed the BTC.

Today, the Bay Area is home to the most successful knowledge economy in America, while Los Angeles has fallen progressively farther behind its neighbour to the north and a number of other American metropolises. Yet, in 1970, experts would have predicted that L.A. would outpace San Francisco in population, income, economic power, and influence. The usual factors used to explain urban growth - luck, immigration, local economic policies, and the pool of skilled labour - do not account for the contrast between the two cities and their fates. So what does? This book challenges many of the conventional notions about economic development and sheds new light on its workings.

Con propósitos agenos a la ciencia, la obra de Vitoria a sido desorbitada. Unas veces, para desvanecer la leyenda negra de la dominación española en América; otras para desmentir la decadencia de la escolástica durante el siglo XVI; otras, en fin, para realzar las exelencias de la llamada época imperial hispana.
