This is the first compilation of primary sources that document the
history and tradition of liberal thought in Argentina throughout
the nineteenth and first half of the twentieth century. With only
two exceptions, none of the works have ever been translated into
English until now. Liberal ideas were very important in Argentina
from the time of independence. The Argentine constitution
(1853-60), in force for a long time, was based on liberal
principles taken from both the North American and the European
tradition. The general structure of the collection is
chronological, taking the reader through an analysis of different
periods of liberal thought in Argentina: from liberalism as opposed
to dictatorial rule, to liberalism as the framework of the National
Constitution (1852-60). Importance is given to the development of
liberalism in government and opposition (1857-1910) and to the last
period (1912-40), the twilight of liberalism. Chapter 1 addresses
the dictatorship of Juan Manuel de Rosas (1837-50), during which
time a set of liberal ideas was formed that would subsequently have
a decisive influence on the second period, the formation of the
National Constitution (1852-60). Chapters 3 and 4 consist of
writings that chronicle the surge of liberalism in Argentina,
first, during the period between 1857 and 1879, and, later, between
1880 and 1910. These chapters reflect the great political,
economic, and social debates that exemplify the variety and
richness of the body of liberal ideas during this time. The
writings in the final chapter review the gradual decline of
liberalism. They rescue from obscurity those voices and writings
that upheld and defended liberal ideals in several aspects, namely,
those ideals concerning electoral and constitutional reforms and
the resistance of the advance of different expressions of
totalitarian dictatorship during the twentieth century.
