Publicaciones especializadas y liberalismo periférico. Notas sobre la transmisión de ideas económicas en Argentina, 1870-1890

Abstract

This article - part of a larger project on the creation of «knowledge of state» in Argentina between the late nineteenth and 1930-, analyzes a series of publications that operated as «transmission belts» of economic knowledge and, more generally, of concepts tied to liberalism during the last decades of the n.ineteenth century in Argentina. What we want to reconstruct is the double process through which knowledge about the economy leads to an «expert discourse» socially recognized as such and, at the same time, certain ideas related to economy and society came to shape what could defined as an -always evolving- «social common sense».
