Resumen
El trabajo analiza los diagnósticos y debates económicos durante la campaña de 1983 en Argentina, con el foco puesto en los economistas referentes de la Unión Cívica Radical (UCR). Para ello, se analizan los reportajes llevados a cabo oportunamente por el equipo de periodistas económicos del semanario Mercado en relación con otras fuentes periodísticas, estadísticas y testimoniales que permiten reconstruir la economía de la campaña durante la transición a la democracia. Los economistas radicales relevados fueron protagonistas centrales de la política económica del radicalismo en el gobierno, especialmente en la etapa del ministro Bernardo Grinspun (1983-1985), lo que permitió identificar de forma prematura muchas de las tensiones a las que se enfrentarían en diversos frentes (deuda externa, inflación, sistema financiero, entre otras). Se pudo observar en las discusiones abiertas por los referentes económicos del radicalismo que los temas prioritarios giraron en torno a la deuda externa, la reactivación, la inflación y el sistema financiero. También que, pese a las coincidencias entre ellos, hubo algunas distancias sobre cómo reactivar la economía, cómo inducir una baja de la inflación, las posibilidades reales de pagar la deuda externa o de qué forma manejar el sistema financiero que adelantaban las tensiones por venir.
This paper analyses the economic diagnoses and debates during the 1983 campaign in Argentina, focusing on leading economists of the Radical Civic Union (UCR). To do so, the reports carried out by the team of economic journalists of the weekly Mercado are analysed in relation to other journalistic sources, statistics and testimonials that allow us to reconstruct the economy of the campaign during the transition to democracy. The radical economists surveyed would be central protagonists of the economic policy of radicalism in the government, especially during the stage of Minister Bernardo Grinspun (1983-1985), which allowed the premature identification of many of the tensions that would be faced on various fronts (foreign debt, inflation, financial system, etc.). It was observed in the discussions opened by the economic leaders of radicalism that the priority issues were foreign debt, reactivation, inflation and the financial system. Despite the similarities, there were also some differences on issues that revolved around how to reactivate the economy, how to induce a reduction in inflation, the real possibilities of paying the external debt or how to manage the financial system, which foreshadowed the tensions to come.
