Description and Table of Contents
Description
How did Argentina fall from its rapid growth spiral at the beginning of the 20th century? This publication uses econometric analysis with the aim of identifying exactly when things began to go wrong and to correlate historical economic policies with these periods. It argues that overreaction to the effects of the Great Depression and the consequent turning inwards, reinforced in the 1940s, associated with a heavy emphasis on the state sector which effectively stifled private initiatve and investment, are largely responsible for this economic shift. The book suggests that it was only when such policies were definitively abandoned that the economy began to stablize and grow.
