During the nineteenth century there was an explicit comparativism on issues of immigration, colonization and land. This comparativismo was sustained idea of competition between countries for the same resource: immigrants. In the writings, canonical today, of Nicolás Avellaneda of Argentina and Candido Tavares Bastos of Brazil comparisons followed a script that we can define as classic: the United States and Australia, including in some circumstances, given the influence of the French economic journals, Algeria.
