“…But other influences operated as well. Despite somewhat similar endowments, Canada pursued policies less favourable to immigration than Argentina because of a different income distribution and franchise (Solberg, 1985). Australia, with a fairly representat-'With the abolition of slavery in Jamaica, for example, former slaves abandoned plantation work and became self-sufficient peasant proprietors in the formerly unoccupied central highlands (Green, 1984 ive government, did subsidize white immigration but aimed to discriminate in the payment of the fare subsidy in favour of immigrants who would obtain rural employment (Condliffe, 1930, p. 32).…”

“…Ehrensaft and Armstrong (1978:358) also refers to 'large-scale land grants' of the best lands in Ontario and other regions not under the seigniorial system. l 1 Solberg (1985) shows how, in contrast with Argentina, Canadian policy promoted independent agriculture via immigrant homesteads, marketing, transportation, education and land tenure policies. Even then, as the export sector matured there was a tendency for some owners to become tenants in depressed times, with sharecropping under 3-5 years leases accounting for 85% of tenancy (Britnell 1939:46).…”

This paper compares 'regions of "recent settlement"' (Australia, Canada, the United States, and New Zealand) and Argentina to help assess the conditions under which export oriented agrarian regions and societies adopt a development path oriented to industrialization, focusing on the 1860s through the 1930s. The paper surveys the available literature to trace how agricultural export sector expansion shaped land tenure, class formation, and agrarian political participation in these societies. It sketches the class alliances and related structural conditions shaping the development path adopted. The regions of recent settlement tended to share a pattern of agrarian social structure and mobilization characterized by a high incidence of family operated farms, relatively little landlord predominance, strong farmer mobilization, and a class alliance and polity adhering to a consensus on industrialization and basic policies. Argentina represents a contrasting case in which landlords prevailed. The paper contributes to broader theoretical debate by relating the impact of export agriculture to the internal organization of the export sector.

Las últimas décadas del siglo XIX y las primeras del siglo XX fueron, sin duda, de gran crecimiento económico para Argentina. Aun así, las numerosas investigaciones sobre este periodo han profundizado muy poco en el diverso grado de participación de las distintas provincias y el impacto que tuvo dicho proceso en cada una de ellas. Incluso, las veces que se incorporó esta arista, se ha hecho desde una óptica muy simplificadora en la que se distingue solamente el interior del litoral. En este trabajo se identifica, a través de un análisis detallado de las finanzas públicas, las distintas performances económicas provinciales. Como resultado de este análisis, se capta la heterogeneidad de casos, dentro de un marco general de crecimiento económico, enriqueciendo el análisis del periodo más allá de la clásica división de interior y litoral.
