En idioma inglés Resumen: Today as yesterday the connection between foreign consultants and debts helps determine the economic restructuring and development of Latin America and has shaped the destiny of other countries reliant on external financing from wealthier nations. A recent example of the importance of these linkages occurred in 1991, when President George Bush told Russia that it could not obtain massive new loans until it sought the guidance of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). At the same time, a U.S. economist from Harvard, Jeffrey D. Sachs, counseled Russian president Boris Yeltsin on how to acquire foreign loans and construct a capitalist system. Sachs had proved his mettle previously by designing sweeping reform programs for heavily indebted Poland and Bolivia. That activity paralleled visits to Poland and Bolivia sixty years ago by another U.S. academic economist, Edwin W. Kemmerer, who rewrote their economic legislation to placate foreign lenders. Such patterns have deep roots: earlier this century the U.S. government sent in economists along with marines to occupy client states in the Caribbean and Central America. There, intruders reformed financial practices in order to assure that foreign debts were paid on time. This essay explores the continuities and changes in these intricate economic relations from the 1890s to the 1990s.
