Looking at the Latin American liberal project during the century of postindependence, this collection of essays draws attention to an underappreciated dilemma confronting liberals: idealistic visions and fiscal restraints. It focuses on the inventiveness of nineteenth-century Latinos who applied liberal ideology to the founding of new states.
