Para darse una idea del fracaso

Fukuyama en las conclusiones:

Any number of observers have noted that, of all countries in Latin America, Argentina has the least excuse for being underdeveloped. The country lies in a temperate zone with abundant natural resources and agricultural land and is endowed with good access to waterways and thus to international trade. It did not start out as a slave empire and has few of the ethnic conflicts that plague the Andean countries. Argentina’s immigrant population was almost entirely European and not terribly different from those who settled in North America. Those who came and settled should have brought European institutions with them. And yet, Argentina has the distinction of being one of the world’s formerly developed countries, having once been richer than Switzerland and today having only 7 percent of the latter’s per capita GDP.
