AbstractHenry George Ward'sMexico in 1827(published in 1828) is one of the most exhaustive accounts of Mexico and its mining activities in the years following its independence from Spain. Written with a meticulous attention to detail, it provided a unique first-hand interpretation both of Mexico's early governments’ achievements and of the not insignificant problems they had as yet to overcome. It highlighted the risks and opportunities Mexico presented to potential British investors and emphasised the benefits of free trade, the need for patience, and how important it was to become meaningfully acquainted with the country before investing in one or several ventures there. This study provides for the first time an analysis of Ward's two-volume survey-cum-travelogue. It shows how Ward's cautiously optimistic appraisal faithfully reflected the short-lived hopes of Guadalupe Victoria's 1824–9 government and provides a sympathetic account of the young republic that would prove anything but common in subsequent British representations of Mexico, as the country's inability to service the London debt and its ensuing instability went on to hinder British–Mexican relations for the greater part of the nineteenth century.

Long analisa a natureza os direitos de propriedades sob a ótica das exigências impostas pelos direitos residuais da comunidade humana em geral; para os georgianos, a comunidade exerce propriamente um papel ativo, como, por exemplo, no famoso “Imposto Único” sobre o valor da terra, de Henry George, enquanto mutualistas, na tradição de Benjamin Tucker, tendem a ver a terra livre como somente aquelas terras comunais, sem dono, sobre as quais os direitos últimos de propriedade da humanidade são latentes. Long critica a visão de Kevin Carson – sobre as vantagens pragmáticas do mutualismo sobre os rivais georgianos e lockeanos – como filósofo, restringindo a atenção a um problema filosófico relativo aos direitos de propriedade que ele identifica naquele autor. O ponto central da argumentação de Long é que a abordagem lockeana é a única defensável, sob o ponto de vista libertário.
