For more than thirty years I have been dedicated to research in the history of Mexico and Latin America, in which I have received national and international recognition. I received my BA from Harvard College in 1970 and Ph.D in History from Harvard University in 1977. I am currently an emeritus professor at El Colegio de México where I have taught for more than three decades. I am a member of the National System of Researchers of Mexico level III, emeritus. In 2012 I received the National Prize of Mexico and Sciences and Arts. In 2019 I was invited to be a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

I am the author of A Century of Debt Crises in Latin America, 1820-1930, Princeton, 1989, and Historia mínima de la deuda externa de América Latina, 1820-2020, El Colegio de México, 2014. My book Bankruptcy of Empire: Mexican Silver and the Wars between Spain, Britain and France, 1760-1810, published by Cambridge University Press in 2007 was awarded several prizes, among them the Alice Hanson Jones Prize by the Economic History Association as the best book published on the "Economic history of North America". I have also published some twenty books, as author and editor, on the economic history of Mexico and other Latin American countries, as well as numerous works on intellectual history, international relations, and Latin American colonial history.
