Moneda y Nación. Del federalismo al centralismo económico en Colombia

A mediados del siglo XIX se puso en marcha en Colombia uno de los procesos de inversión extranjera más exitosos de América Latina, al menos desde la perspectiva de los inversionistas extranjeros: la construcción y puesta en funcionamiento del Panama Railroad Co. Esta línea férrea se convirtió en una vía estratégica para el comercio internacional, y puso a Panamá en el centro de las dinámicas políticas, sociales y económicas del mundo del siglo XIX. No obstante, creó parte de las condiciones para que eventualmente surgiera un reto serio a la soberanía nacional sobre el Istmo.

En 1864 se celebró en Londres la Iª Internacional, la clase obrera europea hablaba de su emancipación frente al capital. España, aunque no estuvo representada en Londres, celebró en junio de 1870 en Barcelona el I Congreso de la Sección española de la Internacional. Y en 1883 se creó una Comisión de Reformas Sociales en las Cortes con la misión de estudiar el problema social y proponer soluciones al Gobierno.
