Extract

Panama is a land of trade. For four and a half centuries, it has been a funnel for exchange between Europe and the west coast of South America and between the Atlantic and the Pacific. This article examines the place of retail trade in the Panamanian economy, with an emphasis as much cultural and social as it is economic.
