El pasado se nos muestra rico...

I'm aware of those critiques and I think the case is just applicable to Argentina and little more. Shumway doesn't propose that as causal. It's just a factor integrante (something that allows us to sum up the historical flow). In fact, the Argentina's richness in conflicts departs from those myths being just hollow myths.

Perhaps you may found in the memories of having being driven nuts by myths that have nothing yo do with the question why about half of Argentina's population -a changing half- feels the way it feels at a any given historical time.

Lo que me volvía loco, fue el piensamiento que los ideas tienen una abilidad de controlar los eventos en el mundo tangible, como si tienen una existencia sobrenatural. Hombres y mujeres, con la sangre, el sudor y el sacrificio son ellos quienes afectuan el movimiento de la historia.
