OverviewDuring the 1990s Argentina was the only country in Latin America to combine radical economic reform and full democracy. In 2001, however, it fell into a deep political and economic crisis and was widely seen as a basket case. This book explores both developments, examining the links between the successes of the 1990s and the 2001 collapse.
