About the author
Born on August 15, 1885, in Mercedes, Buenos Aires Province, Horacio Carlos Rivarola was an Argentine writer and lawyer whose published work focused on society, law, and education. Library and archival records identify him with books including Las transformaciones de la sociedad argentina y sus consecuencias institucionales (1853 a 1910), first published in 1911, as well as later works such as Legislación escolar y ciencia de la educación and Labor universitaria.
His writing shows a strong interest in the way institutions respond to social change. In Las transformaciones de la sociedad argentina, he examined the deep changes Argentina experienced between 1853 and 1910, especially the effects of immigration and modernization on national life.
