HORA, Roy. The idea of the latifundium: Argentina, 1850-2000. Poblac. soc. [online]. 2018, vol.25, n.2, pp.55-82. ISSN 1852-8562.  http://dx.doi.org/10.19137/pys-2018-250203.

This article explores and explains how the views concerning the problem of the latifundium have changed over time. In the XIXth century, this paper suggests, the latifundium was conceived first and foremost as a political problem. After 1910, critics emphasized its social dimension. Meanwhile, in the mid twentieth century, the focus was placed on its economic aspect. Changes in the way Argentinians viewed large rural property relate to larger debates on the country's most important political issues: the creation of political order, the quest for social justice, the search for economic development.
