Presenta el proyecto reorganizativo de 1942 analizando circunstancias, actores y expectativas que lo alimentaron. Para tal fin se desarrollan dos apartados que enmarcan y preceden a esa alternativa; en ellos se da cuenta, entre otros puntos, de los orígenes de la empresa, las tensiones que la alumbraron, los primeros efectos que le impuso la revolución y que continuaron agobiándola, su dependencia respecto a la predominancia del henequén, la fragilidad de sus finanzas, el oneroso peso de su “deuda inglesa” y los diversos esfuerzos estatales y federales para revitalizarlos. El último apartado estudia la base financiera del proyecto privado de 1942 que pretendía revivirlos y, que por razones que se aclaran, no prosperó. Huelga observar que parece pertinente rescatar esta experiencia olvidada ahora que cobra vigencia el nuevo tren maya.El Colegio de México, A.C.2024-03-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://historiamexicana.colmex.mx/index.php/RHM/article/view/476310.24201/hm.v73i4.4763Historia Mexicana; Vol. 73, Núm. 4 (292) abril-junio 2024; 1711-17582448-65310185-0172reponame:Historia Mexicanainstname:EL COLEGIO DE MÉXICOinstacron:COLMEXspahttps://historiamexicana.colmex.mx/index.php/RHM/article/view/4763/5245https://historiamexicana.colmex.mx/index.php/RHM/article/view/4763/5253Derechos de autor 2024 Historia Mexicanainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:oai.historiamexicana.colmex.mx:article/47632024-08-16T21:55:39Z
