CARRERA TROYANO, Miguel. Foreign Debt in Latin America, 20 Years Later: A New “Lost Decade”. Inv. Econ [online]. 2004, vol.63, n.247, pp.103-141. ISSN 0185-1667.

After reviewing the role that debt played in the Argentinean crisis and the subsequent fall of per capita GDP, the main problems that confront both economic policies as well as the financing for development in the region are discussed.
