Abstract
Many reasons exist for comparing the economic evolution of Argentina and Canada between 1910 and 1930. Both countries had enormous natural resources (primarily land) but lacked people; once idle resources were employed, vast surpluses became available for export. Furthermore, for reasons connected with contemporary international markets for goods and capital, both countries were closely linked to the British economy.2
This research was carried out with the assistance, gratefully acknowledged, of the Fundación Torcuato di Tella (Buenos Aires). A preliminary version of the paper was presented by the author at a seminar in the Department of History at the University of Texas at Austin, and at the Center for Latin American Studies of the University of California at Berkeley. The author is deeply grateful for the comments and suggestions of Richard Graham and Stanley Ross at Texas, and Tulio Halperin Donghi at Berkeley, as well as for those that he received from other participants in these seminars.
