Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Argentine Republic: Development, Facts and Trade Features The chief or main purpose of this book is to show, with facts and figures, the wonderful development and astounding growth of a country that has just celebrated its centennial anniversary of real progress, and its further possibilities for the future. A growth unsurpassed by any other modern country in the world, without excluding the U. S. of America; because, while the latter has likewise achieved great things in a comparatively short period of time, and its people may well feel proud of the magnificent results attained by labor and accumulated capital, it has been favored with far better conditions than the Argentine, especially by its tremendous influx of immigration. The Argentine, with much smaller general resources, farther away from the centers of trade, and with only 7 millions of inhabitants - its present population - has struggled fearlessly and steadily, until to-day it is in position to compete favorably with other more prominent and better known countries, in the chief staple products such as meats, cereals, etc. With the constantly increasing wealth and facilities, and a corresponding increase in population for its still unpopulated area, capable for a hundred millions of inhabitants, the possibilities for the future are certainly very promising. But, the very fact of its limited immigration has been of benefit for its rapid development; because, there being comparatively fewer people to feed, there has been a greater surplus of products to export than there would have been otherwise; and this surplus has been placed in foreign markets at acceptable competitive prices, leaving a very handsome profit behind to the benefit of the nation. A long time will, therefore, elapse before the large home consumption will bring about in the Argentine the problem of high cost of living that exists at the present time in the United States, owing to the relative scarcity of the prime products, their high prices, and consequent reduced exports. The equally high cost of living in the Argentine is traced to other causes - chiefly extravagance following prosperity; but not to high prices of the necessaries of life.
