Costa Rica Before Coffee is a book that clearly states that the myth of the land-holding self-sufficient peasant isn’t true. Many Costa Ricans believe that before coffee our country was a paradise in which everybody used to own land and where there were no discrepancies in the society. With elegance, statistics and history; Lowell clearly expalins that coffee helped reinforce the democratic model in Costa Rica instead of undermining it.

I agree with the Costa Rican reviewer, Gudmundson lifts the liberal blinders that coffee barons lead to an agricultural hegemony completely detrimental to the previous ways of life!
Another book which lucidly discusses these issues is “Costa Rica: The Last Country The Gods Made” by Colesberry & McLean, in the chapter, “Coffee! Costa Rica’s First Revolution.”
I recommend both books for enlightened reading!
