Proteccionismo y libre comercio en Buenos Aires (1810-1850)

"This fine economic history deals with regional trade in the Lower Plata, and with the decades-long debate between protectionists and free traders. By 1850s, Nicolau observes, the landed elite of Buenos Aires had successfully prevented any changes in the system of open trade that had so benefited their interests"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
