Jose Antonio Sanchez Roman, La dulce crisis: estado, empresarios y industria azucarera en Tucumdn, Argentina (1853-1914)

摘要

Sanchez Roman's book is among a small but distinguished group of doctoral theses published as monographs this century that provide crucial contributions to the updating of the economic history of Argentina. This statement may seem over the top, as we are dealing with a book of regional history, but, partly due to this, that is what it amounts to. The book shows clearly the extent to which Argentina's agro-export growth during the 'gran expansion' was able to pull other sectors of the economy along in its wake. Although based on a different case study, it complements Fernando Rocchi's research into industry, among other works.
