Argentina's Century of Boom and Bust

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore Argentina's dramatic economic history from the late 19th century to the Great Depression. They focus on the country's incredible agricultural boom driven by wheat and beef exports, the rise of Buenos Aires as a global city, and the underlying vulnerabilities that led to the crisis of 1930. Along the way, they touch on key figures like Julio Argentino Roca and the Radical leader Hipólito Yrigoyen, the role of British investment, and the social changes brought by mass immigration. This is a story of wealth, inequality, and sudden collapse that set the stage for modern Argentina.
