Nineteenth-century Chile was an exceptional phenomenon in Latin
America: Constitutional procedures were observed, the army remained
in its barracks, and development proceeded at a perceptible pace,
even to contemporary observers. This book examines the enormous
contribution British merchants made toward Chilean prosperity and
stability during this period. The prospect of trade initially
brought the British to Chile in the early 1800s. Great Britain soon
provided the largest markets for Chilean produce, and British
factories produced the largest share of Chile's manufactured
imports. British merchants organized the trade and provided
services and expertise wherever needed. John Mayo documents the
economic aspects of the British presence in Chile, but he also
surveys the social, diplomatic, and political relations between the
two countries. What emerges is a picture of a mutually profitable
partnership based on the simplest of all motives-self-interest.
