Abstract

Though the hacendado is now dethroned politically and no longer the largest factor in the Argentine economy, it will be many years before the slowly evolving mythos will be able to postulate firmly another supreme social being in his place. A sizeable minority economic power rests still in his hands, and it will be many years before much can be considered in the Argentine economy without planning the place of beef and of the hacendados.
