From the Preface:
This book aims at an appraisal of the bearing of Puerto Rico’s economic development upon the future of the commonwealth status which presently links it to the United States. I have pursued an unorthodox view in this book, challenging the customary role given in social science to such standard entities as “culture,” or “social structure.” Instead, I have stressed reactive, willful, and ideology-bound elements.
