Resumen
Descripción
La crisis y salida de la convertibilidad se caracterizó
por la disputa entre diversas élites en
torno al rumbo de la política económica, en la
que también intervino la Conferencia Episcopal
Argentina (CEA). En ese sentido, la Asociación
Cristiana de Dirigentes de Empresa (ACDE) se
encontró en una posición dilemática. El presente
artículo analizará los posicionamientos políticos
de ACDE durante el período 1999-2003, poniendo
énfasis en su correlación con los de la CEA.
A partir de las nociones de élite y subuniverso
de sentido se indagarán las representaciones y
estrategias desplegadas por esta corporación
empresaria mediante el análisis de fuentes documentales,
tomando como ejes el rol del Estado
en la economía y el endeudamiento externo. Se
demostrará que el debate más álgido lo constituyó
la propuesta papal de condonación de la
deuda externa y que las posiciones empresarias
más radicales fueron sostenidas por su Grupo
de Economistas. Este último impulsó la dolarización,
la reducción salarial, la supresión de
impuestos y la creación de la Reserva Federal
Argentina, algo inédito en la historia política
argentina. El trabajo aportará nuevas claves interpretativas
para la comprensión de la compleja
zona de frontera entre el mundo económico y las
creencias religiosas.
The crisis and exit of the convertibility regime was marked by a dispute between various elites based on the direction of economic policy, in which also participated the Argentine Episcopal Conference (CEA). In that sense, the Christian Association of Business Leaders (ACDE) was into a dilemmatic position. This article will examine the political positions of ACDE during the period 1999-2003, emphasizing its correlation with those of the CEA. From the notions of elite and subuniverse of meaning we analyze the representations and strategies deployed by this business corporation through the analysis of documentary sources, taking as axes the State’s role in the economy and the external debt. It will be shown that the most heated debate was the proposed papal cancellation of the external debt and that the most radical entrepreneurs positions were held by the Group of Economists. This latter one encouraged the dollarization, wages reduction, abolition of taxes and the creation of the Federal Reserve of Argentina, something unprecedented in the political history of the country. The work will provide new interpretive keys to understanding the complex borderland between the business world and religious beliefs.
