Broadly speaking, it can be said that there are two approaches to central banking strategies: the neoliberal approach and the development approach, both historical. One, prioritizes the stability of the monetary and financial system, the margins of autonomy with respect to the government and its fiscal deficits. The other tends to propose concrete objectives in the real economy, such as full employment, industrial development and the propping up of growth rates in joint strategies with political power. But this simplification has little to do with specific historical moments in Argentine history throughout the 20th century, that is why the historians and economists who participate in this book tried to account for how the policies of the central bank, far from being neutral, they always have distributive effects on society and impact on development strategies at specific times when the political powers operate, through banking, in a plurality of conjunctural conditions.                        No contiene resumen.
