    Argentina’s economic history is deeply intertwined with its political evolution and the social transformations that have shaped its national identity. From its early days as a Spanish colony to its modern-day status as one of the largest economies in Latin America, Argentina’s economic journey reflects both its potential and its vulnerabilities. The development of Argentina’s economy has been marked by periods of prosperity, such as during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and periods of profound crisis, including the devastating economic collapse of 2001-2002. This chapter introduces the key historical milestones that have influenced the economic landscape of Argentina, providing a foundation for understanding the complex dynamics of its economic structure. 
    The story of Argentina’s economy begins with the indigenous societies that thrived on the land long before European colonization. Spanish colonization, starting in the 16th century, brought profound changes, introducing new economic systems and reshaping local trade practices. Agriculture became the dominant sector under colonial rule, with the Spanish focusing on extracting resources and establishing a trade-based economy that centered on Buenos Aires as a port for export. However, the colonial legacy of resource extraction and the absence of industrialization laid the groundwork for some of Argentina's long-standing economic challenges. 
    Upon gaining independence from Spain in 1816, Argentina faced the daunting task of creating a stable economic framework. The early post-independence years were marked by internal divisions and external conflicts, which stifled economic development. However, by the late 19th century, Argentina began to establish itself as a key global agricultural exporter. The development of railways and ports enabled the country to transport vast quantities of grain, beef, and other commodities to European markets, ushering in a period of unprecedented economic growth.
