Frontier development : land, labour, and capital on the wheatlands of Argentina and Canada, 1890-1914

Bok av Jeremy Adelman
This is the first comparative study of the agrarian systems of the frontier lands of Argentina and Canada in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Jeremy Adelman challenges much received wisdom about the economic `success' of North America and the `failure' of Latin America. His book opens up important new directions for the future research in economic history.
