During the late twentieth century, many Americans expressed concern about the security surrounding the U.S.-Mexico border due to the lack of progress in achieving meaningful and effective immigration regulation and an inability to control growing drug trafficking. Despite publicly and privately striving for cooperation on these issues, Mexican and American policymakers struggled to arrive at viable and sustainable solutions. In The 1970s and the Making of the Modern US-Mexico Border: Fortifying a Frontier, Aaron Brown analyzes US drug and immigration policies from the 1960s to 1980s, how they applied to Mexico and the border, and how this shaped modern U.S. perceptions of border security. Brown utilizes archival research, newspapers, and other sources to investigate how US policymakers, border residents, and activists shaped policies aimed at eliminating rising crime, economic stagnation, and global insecurity. At a time when the US-Mexico border is again the subject of heated political debate, this book can help readers understand the origins of the current crisis.

Although financial markets often try to distance themselves from gambling, the two factors have far more in common than usually thought. When, historically, there were no financial institutions such as banks, lotteries constituted the ways by which expensive items were disposed of, and governments raised money quickly. Gambling tables fulfilled roles that venture capital and banking do today. 'Gamblers' created clearinghouses and sustained liquidity. When those gamblers bet on price distributions in futures markets, they were redefined as 'speculators'. Today they are called 'hedge fund managers' or 'bankers'. Though the names have changed, the actions undertaken have essentially stayed the same. This book shows how discussion on 'chance', 'risk', 'gambling', 'insurance', and 'speculation' illuminates where societies stood, where we are today, and where we may be heading.
