Entrepreneurship as Diplomacy: Nelson Rockefeller and the Development of the Brazilian Capital Market
分析了纳尔逊·洛克菲勒1950年代在巴西创立共同基金Fundo Crescinco的过程,该基金是罗斯福睦邻政策的私人延续,揭示了二战后美拉关系的复杂矛盾以及企业家精神作为外交延伸的局限性。
This article analyzes the creation of the Fundo Crescinco, a mutual fund that Nelson Rockefeller started in Brazil in the 1950s as part of a larger effort to continue, using private means, the Good Neighbor policy of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Fundo Crescinco reflected both the liberal assumptions of many academicians of that era about the importance of the middle class to economic development and the concerns of business people about placating Latin American nationalism. The fund's history provides insight into the complex and often contradictory nature of U.S.-Latin American relations following the Second World War, and it demonstrates the limits of entrepreneurship as an extension of diplomacy.
