The Future of South America. By Roger W. Babson. With 16 Illustrations and Two Maps. 407 pages. Crown 8vo, 7s. 6d. net; postage, 6d.
There is astonishingly little in the literature about South America which explains what that continent really means to business people who are open to extend their trade in foreign markets. Such an interpretation is given in this book, together with an interesting account of the picturesque and romantic sides of South American life, its history, customs and resources, also information for the business man. Mr. Babson is known as a writer on economic questions and as an interpreter of statistical data and industrial and business conditions. He has for years methodically studied South America and its business possibilities. He is peculiarly fitted to draw conclusions about South America as an economic problem, which will be of the utmost value to the banker, manufacturer, exporter, investor, and the general student of foreign relations, affairs, and trade.
The book is especially authoritative and official on account of the fact that leading government officials, usually the Presidents of the various countries, have co-operated with Mr. Babson.
As a result his book should prove a suggestive volume for all having or hoping to have business relations with the countries described and also for the general reader who is interested in the economic side of the problem.
