Argentina benefits from abundant natural resources, a highly educated population, an export-oriented agricultural sector and a diversified industrial base. This country has a huge middle class compared with other Latin American countries in history, but these people have decreased after a series of economic crises. Today, these people are still rich, in stark contrast to millions of people living in poverty or on the verge of poverty.

At the end of 1970s, the accumulated debts of the country and every inflation made the domestic people miserable. 199 1 year, the Argentine government converted pesos into dollars and restricted the growth of its own currency. Then the government began to liberalize trade, relax the system and privatize assets. This has curbed inflation and increased GDP. However, the impact of foreign market economy made the achievements of this system not remarkable, which led to the collapse of this system in a short time, from 1995 to 200 1 year.
