<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Through a study of literature, the social and cultural issues that help form the identity of a people can be revealed and examined. The ten essays in <em>Temas del comercio y la economía en la narrativa hispana </em>investigate the relation between the Hispanic narrative and the economic and commercial concerns of Spanish-speaking peoples around the world from a variety of historical periods. Balancing a study of writers' perspectives on current economic conditions with a look at literary versions of economic events, this anthology provides a window into Hispanic culture for both the student of Hispanic literature and the student of business in the Spanish-speaking markets.</p><p>The essays in <em>Temas del comercio y la economía en la narrativa hispana</em> embrace an interdisciplinary approach and address topics as diverse as the attitude toward businessmen and the accumulation of wealth, the popular reaction against foreign investment, the role of women in a commercial context, the plight of Latino immigrants in the United States, and the social distortions created by rampant consumerism.</p><p>Readers interested in Hispanic literature or international business will find useful tools accompanying each essay, including</p> <ul> <li>questions for comprehension, </li> <li>themes for discussion, </li> <li>post-reading exercises, </li> <li>extensive bibliographies for further study, </li> <li>web addresses for organizations in the Spanish-speaking world.</li> </ul> <p><em>Temas del comercio y la economía en la narrativa hispana</em> will provide students in a wide range of disciplines with interesting, new, and perhaps unexpected perspectives on the subject of business and economic activity in Hispanic cultures.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Carlos M.
