1 As the Canadian historian H. S. Ferns showed decades ago by a very simple calculation, the larger landowners were the main beneficiaries of the opening of Argentina to the world economy. Not only did they quite predictably outdistance less affluent participants in agropastoral production, from minor landowners to farmers to rural labor, but-more surprisingly-they also did considerably better than the foreign investors and entrepreneurs who helped to introduce Argentina to the railway age. 2 Even before their rise to unmatched affluence, the landed classes came to be recognized as the first estate in the realm; common opinion saw them as the very core of the oligarqufa, the sociopolitical establishment that until 1916 had total control of the political institutions and even later continued to impose its own severe norms on all aspects of national life.

And indeed the conventional wisdom of Argentines had anticipated Moore in recognizing the estancia as the crucible in which a political order had been forged; as late as the 1940s and 1950s, the 6rdenes generales that General and President Peron broadcast to his followers on the eve of every general election started with instructions on how to respond to the estanciero' s attempt to influence their vote ("if he tries to stop you from voting by closing the estancia's gate, cut the wire fences to reach the voting places; if he offers transportation, thankfully accept, but don't vote for his candidates").

Landowners did not, by and large, employ extra-economic measures to obtain their labor force because they had no need to do so. They had a favorable manland ratio, and when that was threatened they developed, consciously or unconsciously, a broad strategy that included the complex of practices conveniently called paternalism as well as the assistance of a rural clergy that could be counted on to inveigh against sloth and disloyalty from the hacienda's own pulpit. Few people today would call this a just world, nor was it a smoothly working or fully integrated labor market, but it was a "free" world in the liberal economic sense of the term.
