About This Book

El texto presenta un alegato a favor de la anexión de Puerto Rico a los Estados Unidos, redactado como respuesta a preguntas sobre independencia y futuro nacional. Rechaza la independencia por inviable ante limitaciones económicas, demográficas y geográficas, y sostiene que la prosperidad exige apoyo y protección externos, así como acceso a mercados y capital. Compara ejemplos históricos de pequeños estados, describe la fragilidad de la isla ante crisis y propone la anexión como vía práctica para impulsar agricultura, industria y comercio. Alterna argumentos políticos y económicos con reflexiones personales y críticas al servilismo y a la intransigencia local.
