Description: This project promises to deliver a landmark economic history volume for Argentina. Similar projects for other countries (Britain, the United States, Australia, for example) have yielded important scholarly reference works, frequently consulted and often running to multiple editions as research advances. Our project offers this future potential. For the present it brings together a team of Argentine economic history scholars for the first ever unified volume of its kind.
