GALVEZ, Eduardo. Divisions and conflicts within the Argentinean business elite during the model of financial economy. Trab. soc. [online]. 2013, n.21, pp.91-100. ISSN 1514-6871.

This article analyses the struggle taking place within the Argentinean economic elite to try to impose a direction to the government economic policies, in the context of the severe financial crisis which explodes in 2001 and finally leads to a change of economic model. We present here the two alignments into which the elite is divided, and which we have characterized as radical and moderate respectively, taking into account: 1) the individual representatives leading them 2) the business representation organisations composing them 3) their ideological relations and 4) their economic-structural insertion.
