<i>Industry and Revolution</i> is an important addition to both the literature on the economic history of Mexico and to the literature on the economic effects of civil wars and revolutions. It is a powerful demonstration of how careful archival research can be marshaled to answer big social science questions.--Stephen Haber, Stanford University

A new and exciting contribution to our understanding of modern Mexico. Ambitious in scope and compelling in the strength of its analysis and argument, this is a superb economic history of the Mexican textile industry that also addresses the critical issues of politics and workers' welfare. Industry and Revolution will become a must-read for all historians of Mexico.--Edward Beatty, University of Notre Dame
