"This book encompasses a history of Chilean relations with foreign copper interests, a theory of host-investor relations, an analysis of copper-pricing policies, and a discussion of methods of reducing friction between host countries and foreign suppliers of capital and technology. It is a thoughtful, well-documented attempt to draw theoretical and practical lessons from the post-war movement that led to the nationalization of Kennecott and Anaconda operations in Chile."--Business and Society Review "... [T]his is a splendid book to be highly recommended to business historians, to students of multinational corporations, to those interested in the problems of economic development (especially dependencia) and to everyone concerned with the interactions between government and business in less developed countries."--Business History Review
