Officially known as the Argentine Republic, Argentina occupies the
             majority of the southern portion of South America. Argentines have tended
             to disagree about why it has been so hard for them to prosper economically
             or collaborate politically. Over the years, they have claimed that it was
             due to their unfortunate victimization, insisting that they were exploited
             by foreigners who were always economically more powerful than themselves.
             The people who ran the world economy, they said, controlled the nation's
             governments. While this interpretation of the nation's economic condition
             today is appealing because of it is simple and appears plausible, it relies
             too much on a single cause to account for the way Argentines practice
             politics. Furthermore, this explanation ignores the fact that countries
             facing similar economic problems do not always share Argentina's types of
             political problems. Today, Argentina's recovery from such disappointments
             and its prospects for future development are based on the potential
             manifested in its excellent resources and its well-educated populace (Eidt
             & Calvert 2004). This paper will provide an overview of the nation of
             Argentina, an examination of some of the factors underlying Argentina's
             current financial and economic crisis, a recommended recovery strategy,
             followed by a summary of the research in the conclusion.
             The population of Argentina has experienced enormous growth over the
             last century and a half, where it has witnessed a 20-fold increase
             since 1869 when 1.8 million people were recorded there by the first
             census (Eidt & Calvert 2004). The country's population growth
             continued through the early part of the 20th century but declined
             thereafter as both the birth rate and immigration also began to decline.
             The percentage of young people also declined during this period.
             Today, Argentina's birth rates and population growth rates are now
             among ...
