| Sumario: | Between 1900 and 1928, the Argentine economy experienced important changes. Strongly specialized at first in the exportation of primary goods to European markets, the economy gradually turned to import substitution for the internal market. In the meantime, there was an uninterrupted growth in size and the functions performed by the State. In this paper we approach this evolution with an analysis of public investments by the National Government, in two critical areas for that period: railways and water and drainage works, both of which resulted in the formation of the first autonomous national public entities and marked de beginnings of the public enterprise in the twentieth century Argentina. We pretend to contribute, from a public finance approach, to the understanding of the conditions of emergence of the new Entrepreneur State, in a period of important changes in the political and the economic side. |
