How Wall Street Created
A Nation (254 pages, $27.95 hardcover, 2001, ISBN 1568581963), by Ovidio
Diaz Espino, published by Four Walls Eight Windows.
This book captures the swashbuckling early days of the century and the combination of financial gain and US interference that built the Panama Canal. Espino has pieced together the dark alliance between the bankrupt French Panama Canal Company and a secretive syndicate of Wall Street financiers to remap the world to line their pockets. When Colombia was dubious about the settlement, the crafty speculators finagled a coup: revolution and secession from Colombia. The fledgling Panamanians welcomed the canal builders. Bringing a combination of financial acumen, historical expertise, and national heritage, Espino uncovers evidence never before available. BACK TO LIST |
