Abstract: Why did Argentina, once among the world's richest economies, fall behind over the course of the twentieth century? This question has long occupied economic historians. One important clue lies in the persistent rise in macroeconomic volatility. Unlike in many comparable economies, instability in Argentina did not fade with time, but intensified from the mid-twentieth century, leaving a deep imprint on economic performance.
