Summary "The Argentine as a Market" by Nowell Lake Watson is a scholarly report written in the early 20th century. The work focuses on exploring the economic conditions of Argentina, particularly in relation to its industries and trade from the perspective of foreign investors, especially British capitalists. It investigates various aspects such as price inflation, the reliance on agricultural products, labor issues, and the implications of immigration policies within the context of the Argentine economy. The opening of the report provides a comprehensive overview of Argentina's economic landscape, focusing on the dramatic inflation of prices for most goods except for basic staples like meat and bread. Watson notes how the concentration of trade in Buenos Aires has led to increased costs and outlines the challenges posed by an underpopulated country dependent on raw material production. He emphasizes the need for knowledgeable agricultural colonists and critiques the protective tariffs which, while aiming to stimulate industrial growth, have led to inefficiencies and reliance on inappropriate immigrant labor. This introductory analysis sets the stage for a deeper discussion on the country's economic needs and the nature of foreign investment. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
