Both a political biography of Carlos Pellegrini and a study of political economy, this book challenges traditional views of Argentine history. Covering the period from 1880 through 1916, Richmond reconstructs this period of elite rule. He demonstrates that Pellegrini solved recent problems nearly 100 years earlier and questions why the military, middle class reformers, and populists have failed where the elites often succeeded. The author's main hypothesis is that the Pellegrini regime was a turning point in Argentine history. The departure of the elites coincided with a decline in stability in this country. This work focuses on Pellegrini's two year presidential term during which he strengthened the economy and overhauled the fiscal system. Within this context the author examines three related themes: Argentina's ties to Europe, the rise of nationalism, and Pellegrini's relationship with Julio Roca. Making extensive use of archival material rarely used by historians, Richmond concludes by discussing socioeconomic forces that have weakened Argentina since the fall of Peron in 1955.Carlos Pellegrini and the Crisis of the Argentine Elites is a study of the life and times of Carlos Pellegrini, an important leader who pulled Argentina out of the deep fiscal and political crisis of 1890. Covering the period 1880 to 1916, chapters include: Political Disputes and Socioeconomic Change, 1870-1886; Juarez Celman and the 1890 Revolt; Pellegrini's Fiscal & Economic Policies; Conflict in the Countryside; Diplomacy and National Politics; Evolution as Independent Statesman 1893-1906; Success and Failure of Elite Rule

 The premise of this book's organization is that insurance law is best understood if its legal principles are arranged according to the various stages in the life of a contract. Part A considers the question "what is insurance law". Part B considers issues germane to the establishment of the contractual relationship between insurer and insured. Part C considers issues relevant to the performance of contractual obligations. Finally, Part D examines a few topics that defy easy categorization, including special problems in group insurance, special issues in automobile insurance, issues in reinsurance, and a new chapter on excess and umbrella coverage.

This comprehensive Understanding treatise can be used as the primary course text or as a supplement to any insurance law casebook. Understanding Insurance Law is designed to make the substance of insurance law accessible to students and general practitioners who are unfamiliar with the subject. For nearly forty years, the previous editions of UIL have been widely quoted and cited as authoritative by both federal and state courts. The book organizes insurance law under four major headings. Part A, which considers the question, "What is insurance law?," examines the nature of insurance policies, the industry that sells them, and how legislatures, courts, and agencies regulate them. Part B examines the law relevant to the establishment of the contractual relationship between insurer and insured and the scope of the obligations created. Part C considers issues relevant to the performance of the various duties and obligations in insurance contracts, including issues related to claim presentation in all lines of coverage plus the special obligations and issues that arise in liability insurance. Finally, Part D collects and examines some remaining topics of importance, including group insurance, special issues in automobile insurance, reinsurance, and excess and umbrella coverage.

This edition contains extensive updates, with many new cases relevant for students anxious to acquire practical knowledge that they can quickly put to use when they enter the profession.

For example, Chapter 4 includes mention of an empirical study regarding punitive damage awards that exceed single digit ratios and the underlying rationale for such results. Chapter 5 augments its coverage of multi-insurer allocation of liability with notes on New York’s Viking Pump case and Louisiana’s Arceneaux case. Chapter 7 adds to its discussion of stranger-owned life insurance with a short comment on stranger initiated annuity transactions.
