The mоst influentiаl figure relаting tо Lаtin American Pоpulism was the Argentine President, [BLANK-1]. He came to power in 1946, buoyed by support from unions and his immensely popular, former-film star wife, Evita. In the economic atmosphere of the post-war world, his populist economic policies led to massive growth in Argentina. The government would buy agricultural crops from farmers and re-sell the crops globally. The profits would then be re-invested in industry and wage increases for workers. These policies performed very well in the immediate aftermath of WWII, as Europe’s agricultural industry was in shambles. Once the global agricultural economy recovered, this Argentine populist approach did not work and the economy began to stagnate. When the president’s popular wife died of cancer in 1952, many people became resentful of his rule. He was forced out of office and exiled by a military coup in 1955. The new government spent much of their efforts trying to erase his legacy, but he remained the most popular politician in the country. In 1973, the military junta recognized that their defamatory efforts had failed and the former president was invited back into the country. He won re-election three decades after he had first been elected and his new wife, Isabelita, ran as his vice-president. He died soon after taking office and his inexperienced wife became Argentina’s first female president.

Directоr оf the Ecоnomic Commission for Lаtin Americа (ECLA), Rаúl Prebisch, provided Latin America’s main intellectual contribution of the twentieth century: the development of [BLANK-1]. Prebisch argued that the first regions to industrialize in the nineteenth century (western Europe and the United States) locked in a lasting advantage over non-industrialized countries. That initial advantage meant that countries in Africa, Latin America, and Asia were stuck in roles as exporters of agricultural and mineral commodities and were importers of capital and technology. The gap between richer and poorer regions grew as manufactured goods and technologies became more valuable in relation to the raw commodities from which they were built.
