The narrative explores Argentina's decline from a promising liberal democracy to instability, countering the notion that this downturn is mysterious. Julia Rodriguez argues that the country's challenges stem from misguided efforts to "civilize" it through progressivism, health initiatives, and public order. By analyzing these schemes, she reveals how the very attempts to foster advancement led to unintended consequences, reshaping the nation's trajectory and understanding of its historical context.
