Abstract

The article describes the main outlines of the Argentine peso crisis, pointing out its nature and origin, diagnosing it as one of the “growing pains” of a country engaged in carrying out a bold plan of rapid industrialisation, and notes that the possibilities of a favourable settlement depend largely on a more balanced development of the economic potential of the country, and on securing the necessary contribution of foreign labour forces. In the last part of the article, the author examines the economic and commercial relation between Italy and Argentina, the opportunities offered for Italian emigration, the obstacles that hinder its development, and the strictly complementary character of the Italian and Argentinian economies.
