Economy
"During Batlle's second term, he began a new movement referred to as Batllismo: concerted state action against foreign economic imperialism. During this time he fought for such things as unemployment compensation (1914), eight-hour workdays (1915), and universal suffrage.
"All of this brought much government involvement into the economy. The government converted private monopolies into government monopolies and imposed tariffs on foreign products, including machinery and raw materials imports. The growth of the meat processing industry stimulated the livestock industry, Uruguay's main source of wealth."
