#Argentina has become a country addicted to crises. A country closed to the world and in decline that keeps losing positions in the global economic ranking. However, this was not always the case. It may be surprising, but the truth is that there was a time when Argentina was one of the wealthiest countries in the world. It even became the richest of all. There was a time when, for Europeans, the Argentine dream was equivalent to the #AmericanDream. In this video we tell you the story of how Argentina became one of the world's greatest economic success stories.

Bs video.. Argentina is no way near the richest

This title is a lie. The idea that Argentina was "rich" is just a modern day narrative to push economic and social policies of elites. It is no different than the Lost Cause myth. Foreigners mainly white ones were rich. While natives and legacy civilians that were not connected to the ruling class were poorer and exploited with no worker rights. Starting off with your native population as poor to then importing a bunch of white Europeans while setting up trade deals that only benefits white elite and foreigners while other parts of the population starve doesn't make you "rich" it makes you a colony. The same logic used here to say why they were rich could be used to say India was the richest nation under the British which would be absurd.
have you checked out your teeth?
I was in Argentina about 20 years ago, especially in Buenos Aires it's very obvious it use to be a very wealthy country. Architecture, infrastructure etc, but it's also very evident that it was early 20th century. It's also reflected in the culture. Well politics can screw up good places very fast.
Like in the UK.
@@jamesprice4647 what about UK?
@@Tespri screwed up by corruption from the Congo to the USA and Argentina now UK
@@Tespri Haven't you watched the news? It's going down the drain
@@j4genius961 Not really
My country Bulgaria is very similar to Argentina, in the beginning of the 20th century Bulgaria was one of the fastest developing countries in the world. But today both countries are in crises almost all the time and there is one main reason: corruption
The main reason is socialism.
Corruption is just an effect of socialism
No, socialism.
Corruption comes from socialism. Bulgaria and Argentina both got "poor" and suffer because of socialism.
Sorry to hear friend. Argentina was different though. It kne point it was the wealthiest country on the planet, highly sophisticated with great institutions. One of the world's most spoken languages and a great climate suitable for agriculture with abundant resources. Socialist policies combined with a sort of aristocracy/elitism absolutely destroyed the country. Add in some corruption and you have an absolute recipe for disaster. I hope Milei can fix the mess that is Argentina.
At this point, with all the previous videos, we all know we can blame Peronism. But The Argentine citizens keep voting candidates that promote it. So no, at the current trend it will not be as wealthy as before.
The parties of handouts are always popular. The west has countless examples
Peronism.. then Leopoldo Galtieri's junta rule.. it destroyed Argentina's economic foundations..
@@Etendard1708 and then back to Peronism with Nestor / Cristina Kirchner now again with Alberto Fernandez.
@@williamalfonso1373 is there a capitalist party in Argentina
@@karankapoor2701 I don't know if there is a capitalist party, few wish to call themselves that. Personally I think what matters is "rule of law".
Well, semi-dictatorship and military dictatorship from 1945 to 1982 damaged the country massively. The damage still isn't repaired. But of course, someday Argentina will be a proud and wealthy republic and demcoracy again.

Yeah, and that only happened because another ideology was looking to destroy the wealth ;)

Argentina began the 20th century as one of the wealthiest places on the planet. In 1913, it was richer than France or Germany.
Until the 1930s, the French used the phrase âriche comme un Argentinâ or ârich as an Argentineâ to mock the foolishly rich or, Argentine Exceptionalism.
âArgentâ is the French word for money
@@artman12 airgead is the Gaelic one, from Old Norse, eyrir.
@@artman12 Yeah, but "Argentin(e)" is someone from Argentina, it has nothing to do with money
@@artman12 And also "silver".
Currently visiting Buenos Aires right now. Itâs weird because I know their economy isnât hot, but the people here like to go out, spend money, and have a good time. Restaurants are filled to capacity and people go out til like 2am on the regular. But somehow they live on $500 month salary - itâs wild.
The food is made by people with the same salary...
Inflation is 100% a year. As soon as you have money you spend it. Plus food is 1/4 of what it costs in the US and tips are not the norm.
The culture is still very early 20th European, you fake it. In Argentina perception is everything.
Because nobody earns 500 a month there, the *city* of Buenos Aires has high salaries in comparison to the rest of the country, and yeah things are cheap
Argentina has a great potential to be a rich country!
I am
Argentinian and lived in Mar del
Plata and Buenos Aires. I moved to Dublin and also living in Berlin. For sure Buenos Aires is one of the best cities to live in.
How is the public transportation in Buenos Aires? I'm thinking of going in March.

I visit buenos aries last week. Its infrastructure looks like developed country. Wish they recover from economy crisis soon
You know why? Because now they work closely with China who helps Argentina develop the infrastructure. Wait for Cuba, it will be a developed country pretty soon as they're working together and ask China's help to build their infrastructure.

MAGA - Make Argentina Great Again
Yeah, why not.đ
hell yeah bro
Isn't this that same country that defaulted three times already in the last 2 decades?
I love visiting ArgentinaâŠ..Buenos Aires is one of my favourite cities.
Why?
Argentina have a massive land like the usa and with manageable population its really easy for them to become developed country. Unlike Japan or Korea with very small land with no natural resources maybe culture play a role on the faith of the country. Latin Americans knows for being a bit relax all the time and always late unlike east asians who work really hard and diligently. And the politics there is so corrupt
In argentina is not lazyness. I live in Europe as an argentinian and I dont feel they work more than us, in any case, given the economy in argentina, people that want to keep up with its standard of living work way more than in a developed country. Argentina poverty is because of lack of capital, arg is outside the global markets and failed to integrate in the system often. Blame the politicians. As scoiety we fail to overcome inner conflicts, we are too divided and for a reason.
â@@vvventureSĂ que hay pereza, millones de personas viviendo de planes sociales que te cortan la 9 de Julio sin pedir trabajo.
@@vvventure argentina will always be a poor country
The main issues are that we're very used to an eternal welfare state in which the state gives you education health for free, social plans, now travelling plan, plans for having a child, a lot of people working for the state, amd a lot more aiming to work there instead of the private sector which doesn't grow statistically since 2011 i mean we have such a huge state and people love those candidates who believe in strong state invertiona and tehrefore stop the private sector (small and big companies) from expanding, getting richer and then we have a small industry which copes with too many taxes, very strong labor regulations which can actually take companies to bankruptcy and that discourages investment, another issue is that we don't trust our banking system since 2001 Corralito, and that means Argentina offers little or no financial security neither do we trust our currency which has changed several times through the years and all have been eventually highly devalued, rich and middle class tend to buy dollars including my family , so we've a semi-dollarized economy which is very difficult to fix, so there are a lot of structural problems; so every time a liberal candidate wants to change this we have lots of union members making protest, unions that are controlled by Kirchnerism i mean we are too used to this structure and we're afraid to change. Another issue is that our politicians from almost all ideologies are one of the most corrupted in the world, have a look at Kirchnerism, Macri's panama papers, etc.
Furthermore, we have a very closedminded and arrogant culture in whinch we tend to see the superpowers that could be our free trade allies as our enemies because of The Malvinas War, the invasion in 1807 and 1806, the UK, the Condor Plan,the US, and those beliefs and the socialist ideas are used to indoctrinate students in school especially in history classes. Moreover, we have a culture that tend not to respect the law, i couldn't name one president that fully respected the law, it's a problem we've had for centuries. Another issue is that the Justice system is also contaminated by politics ideology. Most of our politicians have robbed but very few of them end up in prison. However i believe and hope that Milei is turning it all around, most of his voters are the young, and they're the future, and we're heading to a new hyperinflation, so i believe these factors will make our people make a change so there seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel. I hope people are patient enough to wait for the changes long term
Argentina can become a economic success, they need a change in leadership. Argentina needs a leadership that will change how it works socially as well as econmically.
This is called liberalism but hated by red communist thieves
People say that a lot but somehow the leaders seem to reflect the local culture. It looks like when Argentina got rich they still held on to their hard working European culture. That seems to be gone. Basically the same in the US.
Awesome, instructive vid - thanks đđœ

Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.
It's amazing that, with all their mismanagement and chronic inflation, they continue to thrive as well as they have.
Please do a special about the current events in Peru.
They could invest in the development of neighboring countries and increase import/export relationships along the ports and extensive rail networks?
They all export similar things, what they need is a major trading partner to export things they are unique at producing. Look at Japan, Korea and Taiwan, a strong industry sector and they got rich by exporting consumer goods to USA and Europe.

Yes, before socialism. Same with Venezuela. And tons of other countries. Socialism destroys and hates.
Glory to Argentina!
Argentina shared a weakness with Canada and Australia: being very dependant on a single economic partner: UK for instance. They lost this partner during WWII, like Australia (Canada already had a new partner being thé USA after WWI), and it never won a new one unlike Australia that won USA as a partner and later Japan and later China. Also, unlike Australia and Canada, Argentina is not energy self sufficiant. And this later weakness certaine contribuer a bit To one last weakness: a relatively weak industry. Certainly, with better institutions and stability Argentina could fare better, but considering the weaknesses I cited I dont expect it ever becoming an economic giant again in the future even tough I certainly wish it a lot.
True. Argentina was overly reliant on agricultural exports. They never really industrialized.
Argentina should be able to fare much better. IIRC Argentina possesses plenty of coal deposits (at least enough for domestic consumption) and high potential for green energy (e.g. windy southern region).
But even if she really can not compete against Canada or Australia, Argentina should be able to at leaet compete with *New Zealand,* which share similar outlook and "weaknesses".
There's no clear reason why New Zealand, which is a small country heavily dependent on agroindustry, right next to Australia, which is another agroindustry giant (i.e. a rival in international market), could become such stable and prosperous country while Argentina keep stumbling.
Argentina also possess many advantages compared to Canada, Australia, and NZ, like geopolitical security (i.e. growing animosity between China and Canada/Australia), easy access to the growing market in South America and Africa, and also cheaper cost of labor.
IMO main problem with many Latin American countries is "Socialism" (i.e. big inefficient bureaucracy run by inept central planners) and *corruption.*
If Argentina could streamline its bureaucracy, reduce corruption, and adopt more *business friendly regulations,* she'll once again become a wealthy and stable nation.
Cheap energy is the key to wealth post-industrial revolution. The UK had coal and the US had oil.
@@fosterslover Not the case with Japan and Taiwan.

Wrote this for another VisualPolitik video on Argentina and thought it was apt to reshare here. Just a thought experiment folks, mostly having fun.
"The year is 2065. The Sino-American war has led to a near collapse of global supply chains and a deep regression in globalization. The Neo-Peronist "Vivir con lo nuestro" party took total control of the Argentine government in a military coup 2038, and consolidated power over the 2040s. Since then, the massive import substitution industrialization push has caused Argentina, in relative terms, to be far better off than most of the world. By today's standards, this would hardly be something to celebrate. However, by the standards of the era of the Great Deglobalization, the Argentine standard of living stands head and shoulders above most nations. This was aided by Argentina being one of the few nations that was capable of having food and energy independence, the latter by finally maximizing the use of its untapped hydropower energy reserves. VisualPolitik is still alive and well, thriving within the successor to the Metaverse. Our virtual avatars are subjected to a drip feed of VR spectacles produced by VisualPolitik, expounding the genius underlying the Argentine model in immense detail, while the world around us burns. How times have changed."
Always very interesting but due to incredibly fast speaker - helas- very difficult to follow - truly a great shame
The speaker needs to speak a little slowly
in an alternate universe british won the invations of 1806 and argentina is a super power
I wouldn't necessarily say a world superpower given a population size less than 1/4 that of the United States (though still twice that of Canada), but definitely a South American regional power on par with Brazil and a member of the G8 (which, in our universe, is the G7 that doesn't include Argentina by any means).

Title for this video: When Argentina wasn't socialist. Socialism distributes poverty and the wealth is concentrated in the political class.
Very interesting, the southern nation who can developing a inclusive institution of political and economic in early of 20th century, but failed to maintain it.
I think populism has been the ruin of Argentina, and it's so pervasive that there is no turning back. The whole world should learn from this. So sad.
Populism has very little to do with it. It was socialism that ruined Argentina.
Our narrator could use some Crest Whitening Strips. Gross.
Sounds to me like socialism slowly squeezed the money out of Argentina until it is at it's current economic state. It certainly needs to become an exporting country as it was in the past. I would say they need to resolve the Falklin Island issue with Britain and then get back to allowing North American and European powers to invest in their industrial base to both expand & revitalize it. Given its current relationship with the UK and therefore the USA; I don't see a foreign flow of investments happening. It may also help if they modernized their rail system. In short they need to invest In infrastructure & efficient production of products. They also need to maintain their control over their industry.
Not socialism. Rather, Peronism and nationalism.
I would agree in most part, such opportunities lost

very acurate, tks

Argentina was never on a trajectory to become anything more than what it is today contrary to popular belief. Their early 20th century growth was unevenly distributed and based primary on agricultural exports. The country failed to industrialize and always had dysfunctional institutions. This idea that Argentina could have been like Canada, Japan or Australia today is a myth and is based on a flawed premise.
Oh they industrialized, building nuclear reactors, planes, submarines, satellites, etc. They just didn't modernize their economy as the rest of the world did.
They also have huge state dependent social programs and employment--a situation similar to Italy, but without a Germany and EU nearby.
Also--countries like Australia and Canada to a lesser extent still primarily depend on agricultural/commodities exports just like Argentina does, so it's not far fetched to say Argentina could have enjoyed a similar economy and standard of living as these countries.
Wrong.
1-It wasn't unevenly distributed, as wages, prosperity, and ascending social mobility were higher than in Western Europe, Canada, Australia, etc. That's why 8 million immigrants arrived to the country.
2-It was based primarily on agricultural exports, but the industry was growing faster than agriculture and livestock production.
And now part 2, how socialism destroyed Argentina (Peronism)
Perhaps the World Cup win will mark a turnaround for Argentina.
Javier milei 2023
Argentina was libertarian and free for almost 50 years, and was turned into a economic powerhouse and probably (at the time) the best place in the world to live. Since then socialism and destroyed the country, and the people, idiots as they are, keep voting socialist over, and over, and over and over again. Expecting better results each time. And now when they have the chance to vote libertarian again and get rich again, they do what? They vote socialist... The dumbness of people never cease to amaze.
@7:15 Yup that's a basic tenant of immigration, to try and get out of poverty.
You never see people immigrating to the Dominican Republic or The Congo.
đđđđČđ°đ”đ€
Actually you do see Haitians emigrating to the Dominican Republic
I think you meant to say Haiti instead of the Dominican Republic. Haiti is a virtual facsimile of Africa in terms of skin colour and grinding poverty and recurring crises of various kinds. The Dominican Republic, by comparison, is more developed - though not to the extent of Argentina/Chile/Uruguay or Costa Rica or certainly the developed world.
đłđł what's with this thumbnail
Finally...a CZcams video on the history of Argentine prosperity (plus its subsequent unravelling) that includes the British invasions of 1806-07 and what an Argentina with a British victory could have been.
In short, more solid foundations (including especially more equal land distribution), an even heavier immigration wave that would both start earlier and last to this day (in which the British Isles-born join the Spanish-born and Italian-born as the charter ethnic group), a broadly-shared prosperity that would last to this day and wouldn't end in the 1940s-1950s like in real life, and way more economic/political stability than in real life (including no Peronism and no Dirty War).
Oh, and it would include Uruguay, most of far southern Chile (most of Magallanes and all of Tierra del Fuego), and - since 1949 - the Falkland Islands (in that world, not a contentious issue and not generally called the Malvinas in Spanish). It would not include Misiones, though, as that would be in Paraguay.
The population would be 70 million (as opposed to 50 million or less in that whole territory), with a Spanish-speaking to English-speaking ratio of 60-40. The Spanish speakers would include the descendants of most of the immigrants from Italy and Spain as well as the older-stock Spanish-speakers.
In Argentina we are not allowed to ask our grandparents what they did in WW2.
he sold grains to feed hungry British soldiers, transported by neutral cargo ships that didn't need Royal Navy escort, Britain owed USD 3.5 billions (40 billions in today money) to Argentina at the end of the war.
Suppose it depends on whether or not those grandparents have German surnames...
My granpa was an electrician in Germany
When Argentine can get rid herself of all of those lazy communists (aka Peronists, among others), maybe there will be a chance for old prosperity to return.

Funny how we don't talk in the video about what happened after, during the '30s, when an attempt to end the "infamous decade" brought about the "infamous century". A poor bargain indeed.
Can you make a video about why there are no black people in Argentina itâs is an interesting and dark reason, it will make a great video
A British Argentina (which would include Uruguay) would be more akin to real-life Uruguay than to real-life Argentina in terms of the black presence. Not to mention that a British Argentina would, additionally, attract black immigrants from Brazil, Africa, and the West Indies.
Argentina needs thanos
Vote for populists, and this is what happens. A clear lesson to everyone, though clearly one not heard by Trump supporters.
You must be crazy Argentina have voted for socialist who implement the policies that destroyed it to these day
The difference is that populists that voted for Trump were not looking for free handouts, just a job. These generate wealth.
Populists appealing to those who want free handouts... those are the issues. These are a tax on the wealth, through the power of the government gun.

The anglo-saxon law with its emphasis on private ownership emerges once again victorious.
So Japan was Anglo Saxon?
The Anglo saxons were the most successful race in invading, looting and enslaving. They are also the first one to turn racism into science. They became civilized only a few decades ago, once they realized they do not have the power to pillage the world any more.
@@fullmetaltheorist with total defeat in WW2 and American occupation, Japan was reorganized by the occupiers. The old elites, the samurai who promoted militarism and autarky were swept aside with open markets, promotion of commoners into positions of power and integration with the west. So, yes anglo-saxon values were grafted by the Americans on the Japanese tree to provide a stable, prosperous and peaceful ally to the US empire.
@@pwp8737 The point I was trying to make was that private property isn't an Anglo Saxon invention. Plenty of places have it and do it better than the anglos. The honest truth is the vikings, anglos and other getmanic tribes were fudalists who raided, pillaged and ruled over other countries before being assimilated into the nobility and general population. The view of them as liberators is fairly recent and wrong. Just look at England. You can clearly see that they installed fidal structures that became the aristocracy and later on the ruling and wealthy class. England was a very class segregated society for most of its moderns and pre modern history.
Lol. Countries with civil law have private ownership.

Excuse me! When a FEW people of Argentina were rich! IsnÂŽt the same
Probably one of the most racist countries on the planet. Poverty is heartbreaking and has allways been a highly corrupt country with maybe a dozen elite families that have their hands on everything.
The reason for the disaster in one word : Peronism
Capitalism. While they embraced it, they prospered. Then envy got the better of them and they tilted to socialism. Ever since then they are on a race to the bottom.
Wrong... it's cause of Messi the Messiah
Wrong.. neo Lib economic policy is the problem not "socialism". The idea that Argentina was "rich" is just a modern day narrative to push economic and social policies of elites. It is no different than the Lost Cause myth.
Envy or greed?
It was right wing authoritarianism that destroyed it.
Where in the world is it easiest to get rich?
When Argentina was "rich" none of that wealth actually went to the working people/ordinary people. Which was the reason there was a socialist movement. Dumbing it down to just "greed" accomplishes nothing.
Argentina may win the World Cup, despite all that

He was in the tomb for 3 days, then Father God raised Holy and Sinless Jesus Christ (Y'shua) to Life! He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, & unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, & immoral persons sorcerers & idolaters & all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire & brimstone..." Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus and put your true faith and trust in Him today and please repent. Will you have a Real encounter with Holy Lord Jesus (Y'shua is His Hebrew Name) and stay in a Genuine relationship with Him daily please?
