But as the twenty-first century began the country was hit by an economic crisis. Now Argentina faces the challenge of rebuilding its economy and finding a way for all of its people to benefit. Meet the people of Argentina and discover the diversity of their lives, from the farm worker breeding polo ponies to the travel agent working to bring in foreign tourists.
