Capitales en el azúcar. Los hacendados Cubanos ante la rentabilidad económica y la oportunidad de inversión (1878-1895)

Abstract

This article studies the great hacienda-owners and, in particular, the strategies they applied in order to diversify their income through investment in sugar and other alternative activities, both in and outside Cuba. Investments on these alternative sectors stemmed form return estimations rather than from lack of financial resources.
