About This Book
A geographical study of Argentina's economic development, focusing on colonization, land settlement, and the exploitation of natural resources alongside the growth of agriculture, cattle-breeding, population, and urban centres. The author combines travel-based observations with bibliographical research to classify regional types of country and forms of colonization, and to survey transport, forestry, and local industries. Chapters describe diverse landscapes and provincial contrasts, track shifts in export markets and local industrial responses, and assess wartime disruptions to trade and resource use. Maps, illustrations, and a supplementary chapter accompany statistical and historical material while noting gaps in available data.
