Reformas estructurales y renovación de las élites económicas en Argentina: estudio de los portavoces de la tierra y del capital

Abstract

This article seeks to contribute to knowledge of the Latin American economic elites on the basis of the study of two business corporations: the Sociedad Rural Argentina (SRA) and the Asociación de Bancos de la Argentina (Adeba-ABA), organizations that represent the most concentrated owners’ sectors in their respective fields of activity. They constitute the most perseverant spokesmen of liberal orthodoxy and have been the principal supporters of the government that implemented the market reforms. The text begins with the history of both organizations, focuses on their development during the 1990s and ends with an analysis of the renewal of Argentina’s economic elites.
