  After a promising start as a prosperous and liberal democratic nation at the end of the nineteenth century, Argentina descended into instability and crisis. This book demonstrates that Argentina's turn of fortune was the ironic consequence of schemes to civilize the nation in the name of progressivism, health, science, and public order.
