Foreign Trade is volume 16 in the collection of works published by the Alexander Hamilton Institute in New York under the title Modern Business. Founded in 1909 by the dean of the New York University School of Commerce, Accounts and Finance Joseph French Johnson (1853-1925), its main goal was the teaching and divulgation of commerce and business studies, and its name was in honour of the first United States Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton (1757-1804). His last publications are from 1987.

Jacob Anton de Haas (1883-1963) was a Dutch nationalized American graduated from Stanford University, and after completing a master from Harvard, he returned to the former to obtain his doctorate. He carried out a brilliant work at different institutions in Ohio, Stanford and at New York University, until he became the chair of International Relations at the Harvard Business School in 1927, coinciding with the second revised edition of his Foreign Trade from 1924. Much of his letters, notes, reports, newspaper clippings, photographs, catalogs and documentation related to his role in the establishment of the business education of the Gimnasio Moderno located in Bogotá are preserved in the Harvard Library. Much of this correspondence includes faculty recruitment, exchange students, logistical issues, the study method, and a broad exchange of ideas and information between Colombia and the United States.
