SCHALLER, Enrique César. Finanzas públicas y administración en la provincia de Corrientes (1850-1889). Bol. Inst. Hist. Argent. Am. Dr. Emilio Ravignani [online]. 2020, n.53, pp.1-35. ISSN 0524-9767.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.34096/bol.rav.n53.8025.

The National Constitution of 1853 established a federal republic, in which new instances of government were created with attributions and own resources, replacing the confederation of provinces united by pacts. This reform implied for the provinces a redefinition of their functions and state structures. In the field of public finance, the change was profound because the bases on which the provincial rent system was based were modified. In this article we analyze the fiscal reforms that took place in the province of Corrientes from the national organization until the eve of the economic crisis of 1890. The period is characterized by the slow construction of the new fiscal regime in an unstable institutional context. The study examines the evolution of the income and expenditure of the province and indicates the most important administrative changes that occurred in the various areas of the State.
