“Jesuit Business opens a vast field of reflection and research on the religious order that most marked the history of our colonization. The book cleverly completes the large international research bed that the Jesuit theme has inspired and continues to give rise to. At the same time rigorous and lucid, his narrative translates knowledge about the society, politics and economy of the period in question, introducing us to a social history of the religious order. A must for a key period in our history, it still confirms the talent of a refined and astute historian. ”
