The Political Economy of Argentina's Abandonment
Going through the labyrinth: the political economy of Argentina’s abandonment of the gold standard (1929-1933) Pablo Gerchunoff and José Luis Machinea ABSTRACT This article is the short but crucial history of four years of transition in a monetary and exchange-rate regime that culminated in 1933 with the final abandonment of the gold standard in Argentina. That process involved decisions made at critical junctures at which the government authorities had little time to deliberate and against which they had no analytical arsenal, no technical certainties and few political convictions. The objective of this study is to analyse those “decisions” at seven milestone moments, from the external shock of 1929 to the submission to Congress of a bill for the creation of the central bank and a currency control regime characterized by multiple exchange rates. The new regime that this reordering of the Argentine economy implied would remain in place, in one form or another, for at least a quarter of a century. KEYWORDS Monetary policy, gold standard, economic history, Argentina JEL CLASSIFICATION E42, F4, N1 AUTHORS Pablo Gerchunoff is a professor at the Department of History, Torcuato Di Tella University, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

I have never seen a better example of ‘Maine spirit’, clean playing, and determination to win. That we lost is no disgrace. Everyone who saw the game should be proud of the team and of the fact that even against heavy odds every moment was full of fight and aggressiveness.” This message was sent to the student body by President Boardman en route to Chicago and the Pacific Coast. Presi dent Boardman was authorized by unanimous vote of the Board of Trustees to make this 6000 mile coast-to-coast trip for the purpose of carrying the spirit and news of the Univer sity to the Alumni Associations of the middle west and Pacific coast and to bring back to the campus the spirit of the far west ern alumni associations.

Background on the 1929 Stock Market Crash
Some Facts about the 1929 Stock Market Crash Dow-Jones Industrials Index Average of Lows and Highs for the Year 1922 91.0 1923 95.6 1924 104.4 1925 137.2 1926 150.9 1927 177.6 1928 245.6 1929 290.0 1930 225.8 1931 134.1 1932 79.4 On September 3, 1929, the Dow Jones Industrial Average reached a record high of 381.2. At the end of the market day on Thursday, October 24, the market was at 299.5 — a 21 percent decline from the high. On this day the market fell 33 points — a drop of 9 percent — on trading that was approximately three times the normal daily volume for the first nine months of the year. By all accounts, there was a selling panic. By November 13, 1929, the market had fallen to 199. By the time the crash was completed in 1932, following an unprecedentedly large economic depression, stocks had lost nearly 90 percent of their value. (Stocks did not recover to 1929 highs until 1954). Wednesday, October 23, 1929 Market tumbles. The Times headlines (October 24, p.1) said "Prices of Stocks Crash in Heavy Liquidation." The Washington Post (p. 1) had "Huge Selling Wave Creates Near-Panic as Stocks Collapse." In a total market value of $87 billion the market declined $4 billion — a 4.6% drop. If the events of the next day (Black Thursday) had not occurred, October 23 would have gone down in history as a major stock market event. But October 24 was to make the "Crash" of October 23 become merely a "Dip." Thursday, October 24, 1929 Black Thursday: a 12,894,650 share day (the previous record was 8,246,742 shares on March 26, 1929) on the NYSE.

EAST TEXAS HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION 3 EAST TEXAS AND THE STOCK MARKET CRASH by Donald W. Whisenhunt In 1929 the New York Stock Exchange suffered the most serious one-day decline in its history and the shock waves were felt around the world. Even today, despite the fact that the Exchange has suffered more serious declines in recent years, people still refer to the debacle of 1929 as the "Great Crash." Contemporary followers of the stock market have some difficulty understanding the severity and importance of the market crash in 1929. At that time the Dow-Jones average was between 300 and 400; the number of shares traded on October 29 was around sixteen million, a number considered small on most trading days now. Inlhe context of that time, however, it was a devastating event. 1 The Stock Market Crash has been called both the cause and the beginning of the Great Depression, but of course, it was neither.

Juliet Barrett Rublee
Juliet Barrett Rublee Lived: March 2, 1875 - May 17, 1966 Worked as: assistant director, producer, screenwriter Worked In: Mexico, United States by Isabel Arredondo Feminist activist Juliet Barrett Rublee worked with Margaret Sanger in the US birth control movement and also produced perhaps the first US feature motion picture made entirely in Mexico —Flame of Mexico (1932), also known as The Soul of Mexico, The Heart of Mexico and Alma Mexicana. Made at the dawn of the sound era, Flame of Mexico was silent with a musical score. It is an unusual film that began with Rublee’s aspirations to make a travelogue, but ended up a historical melodrama, and thus in the extant print we see the conventions of both at work. For the most part, Rublee and Flame have been left out of written histories of film although both are mentioned briefly in Aurelio de los Reyes’s Filmografía del cine mudo mexicano and in Rangel and Portas’s Enciclopedia Cinematográfica Mexicana. Yet both are central to understanding the conditions under which a distinctive alternative visual discourse on Mexico became available to American as well as Mexican viewers. Rublee was an avid traveler prior to shooting Flame of Mexico. She visited various locations in Mexico accompanied by Captain John Noel, known in the United States for his lectures as well as for having photographed George Mallory’s fatal 1924 expedition to Mount Everest. Over the course of two and a half months, Rublee and Noel shot fifteen thousand feet of panoramic views. Some of this initial travelogue footage appears in Flame of Mexico.
