User talk:Dgylmcrm/Economic history of Argentina

I saw on the article that you have already moved your changes live, but still wanted to offer some peer review of the changes you made.

The additions you made were neutral, empirically based, and provided a sound overview of the theories provided by the sources from class. However, as another wikipedia editor has undone some of your edits, I wanted to point out that Moutoukias's and Aldeman's writings do not necessarily invalidate the work of the sources already cited in the article which you removed, but instead exist in dialogue with them. For instance, while the Moutoukias article demonstrated that local administrators tolerated trade outside of regulations, the existing statement that the crown attempted to enforce a monopsony but was undercut by contraband is still true from the perspective of the crown. Or, the statements about Argentina's closed economy holding back development, while clearly flawed, are still accurate in some ways, as Buenos Aires was indeed excluded from the flota system and associated economic development. This is not to say that what you added was incorrect, just that some of the competing points you removed could have been synthesized or modified so that the classical narrative of history is still acknowledged.

Overall, however, your work still significantly improved the article by providing critical information that it did not previously acknowledge. Goatmanatee (talk) 17:09, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
