To all members of the group:
my latest book is now available:
Dr. Moritz (Don Mauricio) Hochschild 1881-1965
The Man and his Companies
A German Jewish Mining Entrepreneur in South America
Hochschild was one of the so-called tin-barons; he dominated the Bolivian
mining scene in the 1930s and 1940s until the big three tin miners were
expropriated in 1952. The book is a review not just of the man and his
companies but also of the times and the problems of the tin industry.
Though it is the outgrowth of my dissertation and thus guided by academic
rigor, I have tried to make readability by outsiders my foremost objective.
It can be bought, in English, at
