资本家与政治家：墨西哥革命中的索诺拉领导人

Abstract:This article analyses political corruption in the Mexican Revolution，with special emphasis on the period 1920-1934，when a faction from the northwestern state of Sonora controlled the state in a period in which the country was recovering from a decade of civil war. With specific references to the private fortunes of Generals Alvaro Obregón，Plutarco Elías Calles，and Abelardo L. Rodríguez，the study demonstrates that the Sonorenses engaged in corrupt capital accumulation，but with relatively limited effect. The new governing elite entered power already economically advantaged，and their accumulation of wealth shows a general failure of the revolution to promote economic justice. Given the state’s need to address the agrarian question，the acquisition of land proved particularly difficult. In the 1920s and 1930s，the Sonorenses could not simply seize the land of their enemies for their own benefit without significant repercussions.
