A MATHEMATICAL “GOOD NEIGHBOR”: MARSHALL STONE IN LATIN AMERICA (1943)

Abstract

When Franklin Delano Roosevelt was elected President of the United States in 1932, the country was in the depths of an economic depression. Not surprisingly, the new President devoted almost all of the just-over-1800-word inaugural address he delivered on 4 March, 1933 to domestic issues. The fifty-four words of the speech that were not focused inward, however, served to shape the country’s foreign policy throughout his unprecedented twelve years in the presidency.
