About This Book

The author offers a panoramic travel and economic survey of a South American republic, portraying the capital's bustling, Europeanised streets and port and the social character of its immigrant population. He traces railway expansion and settlement patterns, the rise of large-scale agriculture and livestock industries that supply international markets, and the organisation of meat and grain export facilities. Provincial portraits cover cities and regions such as Rosario, Cordoba, Bahia Blanca, Mendoza, the Andes and the sugar-producing north, while chapters examine political institutions, industrial development, rural life and the challenges and prospects facing future agricultural and economic growth.
