Argentina’s creditworthiness achievements and problems, 1955–1962: The role of institutions, policymakers, and external agents
This article examines sovereign creditworthiness concerns and policies in a Latin American country that needed economic development and stabilization financing from bankers, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Bank during the early years of the Bretton Woods era. It underlines the significance for developing country foreign financing breakthroughs of applying sound, coherent, and sustainable macroeconomic policies; of credible and prof…
A Looming Foreign Debt Crisis, Aborted International Confidence Efforts, and Unforeseen Economic Warfare Problems, 1981–2
All studies of the last military dictatorship in Argentina have underlined that in December 1983 a constitutional government that assumed office when democracy was restored faced a chaotic macroeconomic situation in a heavily indebted country. Most relevant writings, however, have not examined in detail how and why this regime was unable to solve this problem. This article therefore examines a short period during which minister of economy Roberto…
Finanzas internacionales entre dos eras: La experiencia del peronismo en Argentina, 1973-1976
Este artículo analiza las relaciones financieras internacionales de un país clave en América latina a comienzos de la década de 1970. Este periodo fue un punto de inflexión entre el final del régimen de financiamiento bilateral y multilateral de Bretton Woods y la intermediación bancaria desregulada que prevaleció como fuente de financiamiento internacional hasta las crisis de la deuda externa en la década de 1980. Profundiza los argumentos de es…
The Return of International Finance and the Martínez de Hoz Plan in Argentina, 1976–1978
This article is an effort to update a discussion of Argentina’s international financial relations during the late 1970s that is lagging behind recent scholarly developments on the cases of Mexico and Chile. It focuses on the early restoration of Argentine credit standing with multilateral financial institutions, as well as their loans and technical assistance, achieved by Minister Martínez de Hoz and his team during their early years in office. S…
Multilateral Loans, Banking Finance, and the Martínez De Hoz Plan in Argentina, 1976-1981
This article examines Argentine relations with multilateral agencies and bankers during the first years of the last military dictatorship. It begins with an overview of relations and the external situation before the rise of the military and why a new economic team sought and restored Argentine credit standing. There follows a review of how links with the U.S. Treasury and international institutions lost significance and how cross-country financi…
Juan Carlos Korol, Claudio Belini: Historia económica de la Argentina en el siglo XX. Buenos Aires: Siglo XXI editores, 2012
This book traces the economic history of twentieth-century Argentina from the outbreak of the First World War to the collapse of the currency convertibility plan that marked the end of the neoliberal economic reforms enforced in the country during the 1990s. In so doing it takes up the controversial economic performance of a leading South American country that has long received widespread scholarly attention, and that at the onset of the last cen…
The International Monetary Fund and Latin America: The Argentine Puzzle in Context
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has long been an influential multilateral organization in Latin America’s economic policymaking. However, although a wide range of primary and secondary sources are available in different libraries and archives, substantial scholarly studies regarding its relations with major Latin American countries are still in short supply. In view of this and also for its own merits, Claudia Kedar’s study of Argentine int…
Chimneys in the Desert. Industrialization in Argentina During the Export Boom Years, 1870-1930. Fernando ROCCHI: Stanford, CA: Stanford University Press, 2006
Uno de los temas más debatidos en la historia económica argentina ha sido su industrialización hasta 1930. Sus interpretaciones han oscilado entre una tradición historiográfica liberal, que ha valorado sus aportes a una economía agro-exportadora, y la "canónica" mayoritaria, que los ha minimizado - sugiriendo además que su frustrado desarrollo condicionó las perspectivas económicas del país

El Plan de Estabilización Económica de 1958 en la Argentina
Hace ya más de cuarenta años, con un vibrante y elocuente mensaje radial, el 29 de diciembre de 1958, el presidente Arturo Frondizi anunció el lanzamiento de un plan de estabilización y desarrollo económico apoyado desde el exterior. Con un estilo oratorio característico mediante el cual habría de hacer diversos anuncios clave durante su mandato, a los pocos meses de asumir la presidencia Frondizi inesperadamente convocaba al país al sacrificio y…
Recent Contributions on the Socioeconomic History of Modern Argentina
A number of key issues or landmarks are salient in the social and economic history of modern and contemporary Argentina. The most important are modern nation building and the apogee of Argentina's exportled growth until 1914, urbanization, Argentine ties to the United States
Foreign Business-Host Government Relations: The Anglo Argentine Tramways Co. Ltd. of Buenos Aires, 1930–1966
From 1880 to 1930, Argentina received hundreds of millions of pounds of British investments, making it in an economic sense a British dominion. The world economic crisis of the 1930s forced both Britain and Argentina t o reconsider many of these economic ties. The changing Anglo-Argentine relationship is reflected in the complex relations between a British tramway company, the Anglo Argentine Tramways Co. Ltd., that operated in Buenos Aires and t…

State Intervention in Urban Passenger Transportation: The Transport Corporation of Buenos Aires, 1939-1962
N the last several decades the state has played a highly visible and controversial entrepreneurial role in the Argentine economy. Leaving aside some significant contributions to the debate, we know very little about the structure, operations, and finances of important state corporations, such as the Corporacion de Transportes de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, a body that gradually coordinated and monopolized urban passenger transportation in the city…

Hostage Private Companies Under Restraint: British Railways and Transport Coordination in Argentina During the 1930s
By 1930 there were £435.1 million of British capital invested in Argentina, 62.3% of which was located in railway companies whose securities duly yielded reasonable annual profits. However, the onset of the Great Depression and the successful 1930 revolution brought this state of affairs to a standstill. Moreover, both events inaugurated years of growing difficulties for the British-owned railways and the British government, for whom these public…

World War II and the Frustrated Nationalizaion of the Argentine British-Owened Rail ways, 1939-1943
The outbreak of World War II prompted repeated optimistic forecasts about the future of Argentina's economy in Britain. The South American Journal predicted higher prices for wheat, corn and linseed in world markets while The Times noted that after the 1937-8 crisis Argentina's balance of payments and exchange position were improving. Both publications hinted that this presaged better times ahead for the Argentine
