However, Argentina has not always used its advantages to the fullest. A hundred years ago it was among the ten richest countries in the world — ahead of France and Italy.

The lack of decent modern roads is compounded by a similar deficiency of rail track. This is not a recipe for profitable trading or for unifying a large space politically. — Tim Marshall
