This book examines Argentina's recent economic and political collapse from perspectives that are both interdisciplinary and transcontinental. Its contributors bring the diversity of their views as historians, economists, sociologists, journalists, and architects from Argentina, the United States, Chile, Mexico, and Brazil. The dramatic events that have unfolded in Argentina over the past year are analyzed from the historical perspective of the last century, with a special focus on the 1990s, aiming to identify lessons for the future and contribute to the search for sustainable development. The Argentine case is important for Latin American countries and the whole world. Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz highlights its importance in Part V, where he denounces the convergence between national mismanagement of economic policies, in the face of the pressures of the global economy, and the erroneous advice of international institutions.
