Excerpt from Cameos From the Silver-Land, or the Experiences of a Young Naturalist in the Argentine Republic, Vol. 2 of 2 The second volume of the Cameos, now before the public, has been delayed many months beyond the appointed time, simply owing to the difficulties connected with the printing which has been done in Bucnos Aires. As its title indicates, the work makes no pre tensions to be statistic, although wherever numeri cal data occur they may be relied on, but consists solely of a portrayal of the successive pictures pre sented to the Emind's eye of a very young man, during his toilsome wanderings over the vast and varied territories therein described; and as such, the author leaves it with his countrymen at home.

This book offers new topics and new perspectives on the economic history of Argentina before the 1930 Depression. It focuses on the evolution of early industrialization in a country primarily associated with cattle-ranching and agriculture, and single-mindedly characterized as a case of a successful export economy. Taking an original approach, the book cross-examines traditional economic issues such as production and finances, and new cultural patterns, such as consumption, the role of women, paternalism, and ideology. The first years of Argentina’s industrialization, from the 1870s to the 1920s, coincided with a time of great innovation, a brisk turn from tradition, and quick modernization. This book shows that industry not only helped Argentina’s economy along, but spearheaded its modernization. It challenges the long-lasting “canonical version” that industry was a victim of a capital market and a state extremely hostile to manufacturing. Access to financing for industrial endeavors was much easier than previously thought, while the state supported industry through tariffs.
