Política económica y modo de acumulación en la Argentina de la posconvertibilidad

Abstract

In this article we show that a central aspect of accumulation mode and its tensions during the last decade in Argentina was a growing gap between economic policy and the main trends of capitalist accumulation in the period. This gap was originated in the way that the specifically political dimension of economic policy determined the course of State economic intervention. Given the importance attached to the characterization of the Argentine economic model since 2002 as neodevelopmentalist, we start from clarify the sense of neodevelopmentalist term for the major authors that used it and try to see to what extent the government's economic policy moves away of that concept. Then we advance in characterizing the mode of accumulation in the Argentina of post-convertibility and finally go back to the question of the place of economic policy and of the meaning of mentioned gap.
