- Abstract
"El pequeño intervencionista" is a scholarly book that examines the history of telephony in Mexico City from 1881 to 1915. The author explores the economic and social conditions that influenced the development and regulation of the telephone market during this period. The book highlights the role of the business class, the City Hall, and the state in shaping the telecommunications industry. It also discusses the impact of telephony on power dynamics and citizenship. While the book focuses on the national case, it does not delve into the involvement of foreign companies in the distribution and management of telephones. Overall, "El pequeño intervencionista" provides valuable insights into the historical trajectory of telephony in Mexico City.
