Abstract

This chapter presents a brief profile of Argentina describing its economic and social history over the past 70 years. An overview of human and economic development data is presented and highlights various economic indicators surrounding the turbulent country situation. Its purpose is to contribute to understanding the evolution of the social climate and economic trends applied by successive governments. The second part discusses the impact of the highly volatile economy on SMEs. A descriptive and detailed table in the Annex presents a summary of the main political, economic and social developments since 1946 until today.
