Summary
"Scholars, policymakers, and laymen alike have been struck by the Argentine puzzle: why has this country of recent European settlement and rich endowments stagnated economically for so long? The answers will not arrive from an examination of the last week's newspapers, the last year's policy choices, or the last decade's economic trends. A longer view is needed, and these essays present a state-of-the-art examination of the development record by today's leading specialists in Argentine economic history. The authors expose the historic dimension of the Argentine puzzle - and, it is hoped, provide some of the answers."--Jacket.
